A Review of Domestic Data Sources for Climate Finance Flows in Recipient Countries
February 19, 2018
In recent years, increasing attention and efforts have been put towards monitoring climate related financial support for developing countries. Measuring, reporting on, and verifying climate finance effectively increases accountability and trust between parties. However, many developing countries have limited experience with these topics.
This research analyzes the status of reporting mechanisms that exist under the UNFCCC. The study focuses on six countries as case studies – Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Nepal, Philippines and Zambia - and documents their experiences in these activities. The analysis can also provide recommendations to strengthen work on climate finance reporting to comply with articles 2, 9 and 13 of the Paris Agreement.
