Tracking Climate Finance by Geography
As governments work to implement the Paris Agreement, they need to understand domestic flows of finance so they can better align them with their climate goals, identify gaps, and unlock the private investment needed for green, resilient development.
Our tracking work supports these efforts and is used to provide robust analysis of how much climate finance is flowing in and to high impact emerging economies at the regional, national and subnational level. We work directly with governments to identify the enabling conditions that are most likely to drive investment to support low carbon, climate resilient growth.
To date, more than 15 countries have used our methodology to track financial progress on NDCs, including:
