The Adaptation Fund, Clean Development Mechanism and Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Fund: Some national and subnational experiences

The document argues that the effectiveness of global climate finance depends on democratic governance at the local level. It references experiences with the Adaptation Fund in Senegal, the Clean Development Mechanism in Chile, Thailand, the Philippines, and South Africa, and REDD in Brazil, Cameroon, Peru, and Tanzania to illustrate governance challenges and best practices.

• The effectiveness of climate finance flows from developed to developing countries is contingent upon the existence of democratic governance of those funds at the local level.
• The success of vulnerable populations in developing countries depends on whether climate funding is mobilised, managed, and disbursed in a just and effective manner within national and subnational contexts.
