Abstract: For over a decade, CPI’s Global Landscape of Climate Finance (GLCF) reports have provided a comprehensive baseline of where and how climate finance flows globally. Our methodology and data science capabilities ensure consistent, comparable information derived from a vast array of non-standardized data. The GLCF is key to understanding the current state of play, the key market players, climate investment needs, and pinpointing the greatest opportunities to mobilize capital. Consistent and comparable data and insights on climate finance flows help track progress, build trust and confidence, and raise ambition on climate action. This report synthesizes key findings on uses, sectors, geographies, sources, and instruments between 2018 and 2023, reflecting on trends pre- and post-pandemic, as well as climate finance needs in the coming years by sectors and geographies. It analyzes all primary climate mitigation and adaptation investments mobilized—both internationally and domestically—to assess global progress.
