Coordination Challenges in Climate Finance

This working paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the global climate finance landscape, focusing on the coordination challenges arising from diverse funding sources and implementation channels at both global and national levels.

• Developed countries have committed to providing USD 100 billion every year to developing countries for climate-friendly development and addressing climate change effects, though current public climate finance levels remain significantly below this target despite a steady increase.
• The global climate finance landscape is characterized by diverse funding sources, various priorities, and different implementation channels, which can lead to coordination challenges and overlapping actions at both national and global levels.
• Coordination issues manifest specifically as a difficulty in establishing a division of labour among multilateral climate funds globally, while national-level coordination involves interactions between international funders and domestic governmental actors.
