New study on aid transparency and climate finance

By Katie Welford | May 14, 2012 | News

Publish What You Fund and AidInfo today published a study examining the connections between aid transparency and climate finance.

Countries have started to report on their climate funding and researchers have pored over these results seeking to make sense of the funding flows. Are pledges being delivered? Is the money new and additional? Does it add up and how should it be measured?

A key lesson from aid transparency is that while high quality statistics are crucial, so too is detailed, accessible and timely information to meet the needs of different information users. As climate finance begins to flow in earnest, and in larger volumes, the key questions will not just be ‘are developed countries meeting their commitments?’ but ‘are resources being effectively used in addressing climate change impact?’.

The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) offers the potential to provide a bridge between different systems and users, unlocking data from individual databases and reports, and enabling standardisation and flexibility.

Ultimately, the question is how to use transparency to enhance and demonstrate the effectiveness of international collaboration in creating both environmental and economic benefits. We hope this paper provides a useful basis to bring together those working on different areas of this question to explore synergies and gaps and to work together towards this common aim.
