Non-OECD institutions provided 72% of climate finance and 78% of biodiversity finance, with East Asia and the Pacific emerging as the largest recipient region for both categories.

• IDFC members reported total green finance commitments of $173 billion in 2024, representing a 13% decrease from 2023. This amount constituted 13% of total new commitments reported by members, a decline from the 19% to 24% shares seen in the previous four years.
• Climate finance accounted for 96% of total green finance in 2024, totaling $167 billion. Within this, mitigation finance was the largest component at $140 billion (84% of climate finance), while adaptation finance increased by 64% from 2023 to reach $17 billion, largely due to increased investments from the China Development Bank (CDB).
• Biodiversity finance reached $8 billion in 2024, with 29% ($2.3 billion) targeting biodiversity solely and $5.6 billion directed at the climate-nature nexus. The most significant sector for these funds was water preservation, receiving 33% ($3 billion) of the total.
• Non-OECD based institutions provided the majority of funding, contributing 72% ($115 billion) of total climate finance and 78% ($6 billion) of biodiversity finance in 2024.
• East Asia and the Pacific was the primary recipient of both climate and biodiversity finance in 2024, receiving 63% of total climate finance and 46% ($4 billion) of biodiversity finance.
