Accelerating Climate Finance Impact to Support the Momentum of Paris

The implementation of the Paris Agreement requires a systematic and application-oriented processing of climate financing data. The project established a platform that records climate-relevant financial flows, analysed the role and effectiveness of public and private stakeholders and made the findings available. The platform provides policy makers, donors, recipient countries and the financing development community with knowledge and instruments for climate financing. In this way, opportunities can be identified to support climate financing and to harmonise financial flows and instruments. The impacts of climate financing will subsequently be improved and new sources of finance developed. Synergies between the climate financing activities of the main stakeholders can also be identified to better understand how public money can be used for the successful implementation of the Paris Agreement.
