Biennial Assessment and Overview of Climate Finance Flows 2014

The document outlines the role of the Biennial Assessment (BA) in tracking climate finance flows from industrialised to developing countries to support the goal of limiting global temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius. It highlights the commitment of industrialised governments to provide US$ 100 billion per year by 2020 and emphasizes the necessity of Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) to ensure transparency and effectiveness in mitigation and adaptation activities.

• Industrialised governments committed to increasing climate finance flows to developing countries to a target of US$ 100 billion annually by the year 2020.
• The Standing Committee on Finance (SCF) was established under the Cancun Agreement to assist the Conference of the Parties (COP) with the financial mechanism of the Convention, specifically regarding the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of support for developing country Parties.
• The Biennial Assessment (BA) is designed to review existing literature on financial flows relative to Convention objectives and offer recommendations to improve climate finance reporting methodologies.
