Climate Funds Update is an independent website providing information and data on the growing number of multilateral climate finance initiatives designed to help developing countries address the challenges of climate change. These multilateral climate funds play an important role in supporting countries to adopt low-emission, climate resilient development trajectories. They have a role in capacity building, research, piloting and demonstrating new approaches and technologies, and removing barriers to other climate finance flows. The multilateral climate funds also hold critical political significance, reflecting an acknowledgement by developed countries for historical greenhouse gas emissions and in line with the commitments made by developed countries under the UNFCCC to support developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Presenting data in one place, Climate Funds Update draws from official fund documentation to give users the opportunity to explore key aspects of climate finance pledged and approved through these funds. Climate Funds Update is maintained by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Washington, DC and ODI. If you have contributions do get in touch.
