Tracking Climate Finance by Sector
CPI is the leading authority on tracking and analyzing climate finance flows. We work to assess the scale of finance, identify the main actors in the market, reveal investment gaps, and highlight opportunities to mobilize finance to fulfill investment potential in key sectors with the potential for positive climate impact.
Our sectoral climate finance tracking work covers a wide range of topics, including:
- the first comprehensive analysis of climate finance flowing to agrifood systems globally;
- a comprehensive analysis of commitments flowing to energy access in high impact countries;
- the first comprehensive assessment of methane abatement finance;
- and innovative methods to better measure finance for climate adaptation.
