Estimating Publicly-Mobilised Private Finance for Climate Action

“…In addition, a more qualitative assessment of the indirect role of capacity building activities is pursued. The methodological decisions are described fully in Annex 2, through the lens of the Research Collaborative four-stage framework of decision points (Jachnik, Caruso and Srivastava, 2015). A summary is provided in the remainder of this Section and Table 1.…”

Identifying and addressing gaps in the UNFCCC reporting framework

“…Clapp et al, 2012;ODI et al, 2014;Jachnik et al, 2015). For example, collecting and collating estimates of MOI received can in itself be a resource-intensive process, as MOI can be qualitative (e.g.…”

Assessing Options to Increase Climate Support

“…It is therefore currently difficult to assess how progress towards such quantified commitments should be assessed. Furthermore, despite the commitments undertaken, there is a lack of data needed for tracking progress and assessing their current impact on climate finance (Jachnik, Caruso and Srivastava, 2015).…”

“…While information on public climate-related development finance is available (SCF, 2014;DAC, 2013), there are significant gaps and large uncertainties surrounding the largest source of climate finance, i.e. private finance, in all sectors other than renewable energy (Jachnik, Caruso and Srivastava 2015;Clapp et al, 2012). Moreover, it is not always straightforward to distinguish between public and private sources of climate finance.…”
