Africa is under extreme threat from climate change despite producing only 3-4% of the planet\u2019s emissions. Trillions of dollars are needed to fund mitigation and adaptation measures, far beyond the current capacity of governments. This, however, also presents a major economic opportunity if only the funds can be found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can this funding gap be filled? How can sources of private finance be mobilized? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we can begin to answer these questions we need credible, independent and accurate information about the funding that is currently available to Africa; where it is coming from and what it is being used for. This data is crucial to set the context for negotiations at COP27 and for our ability to measure global progress on climate finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
