Résumé : Within the context of international negotiations on climate change, the question of adaptationcontinues to be addressed primarily from the angle of North-South financial transfers. Highexpectations have been expressed on the subject, including by observers from the academicworld. For some researchers, nothing less than the "global (re)distribution of wealth" is atplay in international efforts to fund adaptation (Carmin et al., 2015). For others, this issue"has the potential to transform traditional aid modalities" (Tanner and Allouche, 2011). Whilethe success of the adaptation agenda in terms of financial mobilisation – or of promises in thatregard, at any rate – is absolutely remarkable, it must nevertheless be qualified against thesedifferent expectations.
