Welcome to the UNFCCC Climate Finance Data Portal

This portal is a gateway to information on activities funded in developing countries to implement the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In particular, it aims to assist Parties in tracking the Financial Mechanism of the Convention and to inform the intergovernmental process under the UNFCCC and relevant stakeholders on the mobilization of resources to support developing countries in the implementation of adaptation and mitigation projects and other activities under the Convention.

The development of this portal has been in conjunction with efforts of other organizations including the World Bank and UNDP initiative on Climate Finance Options and the initiative led by the Government of the Netherlands on Fast-Start Finance. The secretariat acknowledges the support provided by the secretariat of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through making available information and data on projects and activities supported through the Climate Convention Funds managed by the GEF. It also extends its appreciation to delegates and experts who have provided useful comments and insights during the development phase of this portal.

The secretariat invites users to provide feedback on the Climate Finance Data Portal. Please email us should you find any omissions or errors in this web site through the contact details provided. For technical questions please contact the secretariat directly.

About the Climate Finance Data Portal Modules

The Climate Finance Data Portal presents information on financial resources that have been made available to Non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. The Portal consists of the following four modules:

The "National Communications Module": This module presents information communicated by Annex II Parties on the provision of financial resources related to the implementation of the Convention through their fourth, fifth and sixth national communications.

The "Fast-start Finance Module": Fast-start finance refers to the collective commitment by developed countries to provide new and additional resources, including forestry and investments through international institutions, approaching USD 30 billion for the period 2010 - 2012. The module on Fast-start Finance presents information as submitted by developed country Parties on the resources provided to achieve their commitments, including ways in which developing country Parties access these resources.

The "Funds Managed by the GEF Module" is a joint effort between the secretariat of the UNFCCC and the secretariat of the GEF. This module presents information on financial flows that have been channelled, mobilized and leveraged by the GEF in its role as an operating entity of the Financial Mechanism of the UNFCCC. Information contained in this module is retrieved directly from the website of the GEF without further modification by the UNFCCC secretariat.

The "Adaptation Fund Module": This module presents information on Adaptation Fund (AF) project data related to entities, projects and programmes as approved by the AF Board. Information contained in this module is retrieved directly from the website of the AF without further modification by the UNFCCC secretariat.
