end goal
o Common guidelines ≠ all countries report the same
things
A

5. 5 Climate Change Expert Group
Potential ways forward (2/4)
 Revising existing CTF table 7(b)
to integrate finance mobilised
through bilateral public
interventions
o Total amount of other
(climate specific) public
contributions
o Total amount of (climate
specific) private finance
mobilised
o Share of private finance

Potential ways forward (4/4)
 Providing common sources/references/definitions
 Creation of an online interface enabling data export for
finance provided and mobilised
o New ‘macro tool’ to be tested for BR3
o User interface building on BR-DI…allowing country-
level searches
C
Biennial Report Data Interface (BR-DI)
