This consultation, co-organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Climate Policy Initiative, addressed two main themes, namely improving transparency in tracking climate finance flows, and strengthening development co-operation for adaptation.

Part 1. Tracking Climate Finance

This session focused on boosting transparency and accountability in climate-related development finance, discussing the tracking of international public finance, in particular climate-related official development assistance (ODA), and other official flows (OOF) across bilateral and multilateral institutions. Topics of discussion included:

  • How can the various initiatives tracking international public finance be brought together to ensure they are mutually reinforcing and build an accurate and robust understanding of climate flows?
  • What are the interests and ambitions of relevant parties and institutions in establishing an integrated system for tracking international climate finance?
  • What specific steps could be taken in the near-term to to overcome existing constraints and enable the creation of an integrated system to track climate-related finance?

Jan-Willem van de Ven, EBRD, on Joint MDB Climate Finance Tracking
Jochen Harnisch, KfW, on Climate Finance and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs)

Part 2. Strengthening Development Co-operation for Adaptation

This session focused on strengthening development co-operation providers’ efforts to help partner countries deliver effective adaptation outcomes and discussed the following questions:

  • What types of support do partner countries most need from development co-operation providers to boost effective adaptation planning and implementation in the context of national, sub-national, and sector development planning?
  • How are development co-operation providers organising and prioritising their resources to best support adaptation in LDCs and other vulnerable countries?
  • How can the effectiveness of development co-operation interventions, including better engaging with private sectors, be improved?

Speakers:

Batu Uprety, Nepal and LEG representative, on the LEG Priorities and Interests in Engaging with the Development Co-operation Community on Adaptation
Jane Wilkinson, CPI, on Making Adaptation a Private Sector Business: Early Insights from the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience
