A recent SIPRI study revealed a range of issues in how climate finance is reported and analysed. It focused on reported commitments and disbursements of climate-related bilateral or multilateral official development assistance (ODA) between 2015 and 2021 in two of the OECD data sets most commonly used to track climate finance: the creditor reporting system and climate-related development finance data set. Addressing these issues could make it easier for donors and others to close gaps in climate finance and ensure that it is used effectively to help the most vulnerable.
