Work up to end 2014, focused on identifying and assessing methods to estimate mobilised private climate finance, as well as on exploring the availability of underlying climate-specific private finance data.

Using the four-stage framework of decision points and methodological options developed by the Research Collaborative as a reference point, next steps focus on further developing and testing estimation methods in practice. This will be done in the context of pilot measurements for climate-relevant sectors, different types of interventions and instruments, as well as at the level of both public development finance institutions and countries.

Recent and on-going activities for 2015-2017 are listed below. Some of these are dedicated contributions to the Research Collaborative, while others relate to close co-operations established with key partners (e.g. bilateral and multilateral development finance institutions).

To the extent possible, the Research Collaborative intends to weave together findings and learnings across these complementary activities in order to promote transparency and greater understanding of and confidence in available estimates of private climate finance mobilised for climate action in developing countries.
