OECD Analysis Shows Upward Trend in Climate Finance

The World Resources Institute notes that OECD analysis shows climate finance commitments rose to $62 billion in 2014, up from $52 billion in 2013, suggesting the 2020 goal of $100 billion per year is attainable.

• Developed countries and multilateral banks committed $62 billion in climate finance in 2014, an increase from the $52 billion committed in 2013, moving toward a target of $100 billion per year by 2020.
• Recent financial contributions from France, the UK, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and China indicate a continuing upward trend in climate finance, although China's contribution is not counted toward the $100 billion goal.
• The OECD findings align with WRI's own analysis and highlight a requirement for greater transparency regarding climate finance.
