Definition and concepts |
Definition & Concept: There is no agreed definition under the UNFCCC on what should count toward assessing progress toward the $100 billion commitment. Data from the UNFCCC secretariat refers to climate-specific financial support to developing country Parties, reported by Annex I Parties in their Biennial Reports. Only Annex II Parties are obligated to report on financial support provided and other Annex I Parties also voluntarily provide this information. Consequently, this data should not be interpreted as an indicator in relation to the achievement of the collective mobilization goal of $100 billion commitment. |
Unit of measure |
United States dollars per year |
Classifications |
The reporting of quantitative information on financial support through CTFs is guided by BR guidelines (decision 2/CP.17), CTF reporting parameters (19/CP.18) and footnotes to the CTF tables. |
