Clear data on climate finance flows at global and national levels is critical to maintaining the momentum of the Paris Agreement. Otherwise, it is difficult to identify gaps, measure progress, craft effective policies, and optimize the deployment of public and private resources to make finance consistent with climate goals.

CPI has tracked and analyzed climate finance flows for more than a decade, building robust methodologies to ensure accuracy and credibility.

CPI’s Global Landscape of Climate Finance provides the most comprehensive overview of the sources and financial instruments driving investment and how much climate finance is flowing globally and to which sectors. Our robust Landscape methodology has also been applied at the national level, including India, Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya, and South Africa, to analyze sources and uses at the national level as well as to supplement NDC financing strategies. It has also been used to understand funding gaps and opportunities in sectors such as land use, adaptation, energy access, cities, and renewable energy finance.

Our work, which is overseen by the Climate-aligned Finance Tracking Group, influenced the Paris Agreement, and continues to be used by the UNFCCC and the International Development Finance Club in policy making discussions.
