Mapping Article 2.1c Assessment Frameworks

The paper reviews frameworks used to track the alignment of finance flows with low greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilient development as mandated by Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement. It classifies these frameworks based on parameters such as application level, reference pathways, and finance flow polarities to identify blind spots—specifically in adaptation finance, corporate investment, and internal financing—and aims to inform the creation of a country-level framework, starting with an application in Germany.

• The paper identifies significant gaps in current Article 2.1(c) assessment frameworks, specifically noting a lack of comprehensive coverage regarding internal financing, corporate investment, and adaptation finance.
• The mapping process evaluates frameworks using a specific set of parameters, including the nature of the assessment, the reference pathways employed, the level of application, the dimensions of alignment, the stocks and flows covered, and the polarities of finance flows.
• The research intends to use the findings from this mapping to develop a country-level assessment framework, which will be first implemented in Germany.
