This fact sheet by the Stockholm Environment Institute describes the challenges of tracking climate finance in Latin America and presents findings from the Climate Finance Group for Latin America and the Caribbean (GFLAC) regarding international public climate finance across eight countries.

• Tracking climate finance flows in Latin America is hindered by incomplete and conflicting estimates caused by fragmented funding channels and a lack of standardized reporting. Discrepancies between reports stem from differing timelines (such as fiscal versus calendar years), highly aggregated data, and inconsistent definitions of terms like 'climate finance' and 'climate adaptation'.
• Analysis of international public climate finance across eight Latin American countries shows that the majority of funds are provided as loans rather than grants, and mitigation efforts receive more funding than adaptation. Between 2010 and 2015, the total international public climate finance for these eight countries was 5,570 million USD, with loans accounting for 74.9% and grants for 24.2%.
• To improve climate finance management, the document recommends developing robust reporting systems based on mutually agreed definitions and budget coding frameworks. These systems should include effectiveness indicators to measure resilience and emissions reductions, and national governments require capacity building to use this data for decision-making alongside climate risk assessments.
