Climate finance: A credibility gap? Webinar recording

At COP 15 in Copenhagen in 2009, developed countries agreed to provide US$100 billion in climate finance to developing countries each year. Fifteen years on, there is still no common definition of climate finance, leading to inconsistent reporting, a lack of faith in the headline numbers and a loss of trust by developing countries. As the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) prepares to adopt a New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG) at COP 29 later this year, what should count towards the target? And who decides?

Watch the recording of our London Climate Action Week Event to hear what our panel of experts thought. To understand the underlying data and trends, expert views on the issue, and our recommendations to improve the quality and quantity of climate finance, read the new report from Euan Ritchie: Climate finance: Earning trust through consistent reporting
