The preparation of the fifth Biennial Assessment and Overview of Climate Finance Flows (BA) involved meta-data and information gathering from multiple sources, which in turn informed the work of the Standing Committee on Finance (SCF).
At the technical level, the work combined literature review with virtual and in-person technical meetings involving international financial institutions and other organizations involved in climate finance tracking and reporting.
External contributors providing inputs in the preparation process included international financial institutions and other organizations that produce and aggregate data on climate finance flows such as multilateral development banks, development finance institutions, international organizations, research institutions and think tanks, private sector financial institutions, academia, and civil society organizations.
The literature review for the fifth BA was organized in four research tracks. Each track conducted research and gathering of data sets from primary and secondary data providers.
