Assessment of the Post-Paris Agreement Era

This research paper assesses bilateral climate finance provided between 2016 and 2020 to ten developing countries with low governance scores, identifying a heavy skew toward mitigation and a concentration of funding from Japan to Uzbekistan.

• Between 2016 and 2020, ten countries with low governance scores received a total of US$1.3 billion in disbursed bilateral climate finance. The vast majority of this funding was allocated to mitigation (92 percent), while adaptation received 7 percent and 1 percent was used for both simultaneously.
• Japan was the primary provider of bilateral climate finance to the studied group, contributing US$1 billion specifically to fund natural gas-fired electric power plants in Uzbekistan.
• While development-focused loans were the most common financial instrument cumulatively, grants were the most common instrument when measured on a per-country basis.
