The OECD report “Aggregate Trends of Climate Finance Provided and Mobilised by Developed Countries in 2013-2020” (OECD, 2022[5]), released in July 2022, presented aggregate figures and trends to 2020, the initial target year of the USD 100 billion goal. The first section of the Key Messages recaps these.
The present complementary report, focused on the period 2016-2020, provides disaggregated analysis and insights relating to the distribution and concentration of climate finance provided and mobilised across climate themes, sectors, financial instruments, as well as based on different developing country characteristics and groupings (see “Insights from observed trends”, below). These insights may, however, not be representative of the wide range of individual characteristics of climate finance providers’ portfolios or of developing country circumstances.
The report also considers questions relating to the impacts and effectiveness of climate finance, as well as to meaningful mitigation action and transparency on implementation (see “Insights on effectiveness, impacts and transparency”, below).
