Tracking climate finance flows not only shows the share of commitments of donor entities and disbursed amounts but also helps in the assessment of climate finance’s impact on the overall development of the countries while increasing the resilience of vulnerable populations.

In line with the fair share principle and the assessments on international climate finance, the CFAI tracking work generally answers the question: “What counts as climate finance and how do we compare countries’ contributions and commitments?” It is guided by the following arguments:

Increasing the understanding of estimated costs of specific transitions and pathways within nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and national adaptation plans (NAPs) as an important frontier for the next two years.

• Re-emphasizing the importance of quality, the type of finance commitment, and the sector and stakeholder to which it is allocated.
• Aligning international climate finance to national climate and development plans and finance mechanisms.
• Accessing modalities of climate finance mechanisms that developed countries need to comply with.
• Bridging the role of private sectors in co-financing and partners on the implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
• Assessing the impact of climate finance on the overall development of the countries while increasing the resilience of vulnerable populations.
