10 things to know about climate finance in 2016

Briefing/policy papers

Written by Smita Nakhooda, Charlene Watson

These infographics break down the numbers on climate finance, analysing data from the world’s only comprehensive public climate finance commitment tracker: Climate Funds Update.

They highlight the predicted increase of climate finance - thought to grow by 60% by 2020 - and the diversification of the financial instruments used to distribute funds. In addition, they outline the severe decrease in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) finance and draw attention to the gap between the available finance and the costs of climate related disasters.
