Mapping Article 2.1c Assessment Frameworks

This discussion paper, produced by NewClimate Institute, Germanwatch, and the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, maps existing frameworks for assessing progress toward Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement. It aims to develop a country-level assessment framework by identifying trends and gaps in current methodologies, with an initial application planned for Germany.

• The paper maps existing frameworks for assessing Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement—which requires finance flows to be consistent with low greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilient development—using a two-step process: classifying frameworks by specific parameters (such as level of application, reference pathways, and nature of assessment) and providing explicatory guidance to compare frameworks across entity, country, and international levels.
• The mapping identifies significant gaps in current assessment frameworks, specifically noting a lack of comprehensive coverage regarding internal financing, corporate investment, and adaptation finance.
• The research is part of a larger initiative to create a country-level assessment framework for Article 2.1(c), which will be first applied in Germany.
