Climate Finance and Mitigation Ambitions of Recipient Countries

The research examines the relationship between international public climate finance and the mitigation ambitions of developing countries using data from 2015-2020. The study finds a positive but statistically insignificant effect of finance on ambition, noting that this effect is more pronounced for least developed countries than for small island developing states.

• The study found that international public climate finance has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on the mitigation ambitions of recipient countries.
• The impact of climate finance on mitigation ambition varies by country type, appearing higher for least developed countries and weaker for small island developing states.
• Developing countries view the achievement of their emission reduction pledges under the Paris Agreement as being dependent on the receipt of climate finance.
