The governance of climate finance in Africa, Asia and Latin America: some critical reflections

The document reflects on the governance of climate finance in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, noting that these regions are most vulnerable to climate change despite contributing the least to it. It identifies three key regional trends: the balance between adaptation and mitigation, the distinction between public and private financing, and the influence of regional development banks.

• Africa, Asia, and Latin America contain the majority of the global population and the poor, and while they have contributed the least to climate change, they experience some of its most severe effects.
• The effectiveness of climate finance in meeting the needs of developing regions is analyzed through three primary trends: the balance between adaptation and mitigation, the use of public versus private financing, and the role of regional development banks.
