This research paper examines the challenges Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam face in monitoring international climate finance. It identifies five key barriers: inconsistent definitions, varying classifications (e.g., the Philippines' lack of energy-specific ODA classification), difficulties monitoring grants, uncoordinated private finance tracking, and fragmented institutional arrangements. The paper recommends establishing interministerial working groups, adopting standardized climate-specific definitions, and creating dedicated management information systems, supported by international guidance and capacity building from developed countries.

This briefing analyzes 23 subnational case studies from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America to provide recommendations for developing electric mobility (e-mobility) roadmaps in Vietnamese cities, specifically Da Nang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.

This research paper outlines a four-phase framework for developing a national electric mobility roadmap—planning and preparation, visioning, development, and implementation—to assist Vietnam in decarbonizing its transportation sector based on global case studies.

This case study outlines the structure and purpose of Vietnam's National Power Development Plan (PDP), specifically focusing on the PDPVII and its revised version (RPDPVII), which serve as 10-year instruments for power sector planning and investment.

This WRI working paper surveys 27 public and public-private climate funds (PPCFIs) totaling US$41.3 billion, finding that most focus on mitigation in emerging markets rather than adaptation in least-developed countries. While intended to leverage private capital, few have successfully attracted significant private investment at the fund level due to limited project pipelines, inadequate scale, and cumbersome operational processes. WRI recommends standardizing requirements, improving information transparency, and fostering better market conditions to effectively mobilize private finance.

The WRI Results Framework is a strategic document that maps the organization's goals, intervention targets, and impact indicators across three primary human systems: food, land & water; energy; and cities. It establishes a hierarchy of results from global targets (by 2030) to WRI intervention targets (by 2027) and specific country-level targets, all designed to improve human well-being, protect nature, and tackle climate change.

The WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities is a program of the World Resources Institute that works to transform urban areas into resilient, inclusive, and low-carbon environments. With a team of over 350 experts, the center focuses primarily on the global south, employing an integrated approach across land use, mobility, and energy efficiency to influence cities in over 75 countries.

This World Resources Institute working paper reports on three workshops held in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to identify challenges developing countries face in monitoring and tracking climate finance. It details nine primary technical, political, and capacity barriers, ranging from inconsistent definitions and lack of institutional coordination to the limited transparency of development partners and the difficulty of tracking private financial data.
