Tracking and Enhancing International Private Climate Finance in the Southern-Mediterranean Region

Union for the Mediterranean (UfM)
Involvement of the private sector is critical in the global commitment to fight climate change as a means to increase the amount of financial flows into mitigation and adaptation projects, which is particularly necessary in the greater Middle East. However, the current lack of data concerning international private climate finance is a significant obstacle for fully capturing the state of total climate finance in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan (MENA) region, and therefore limits the ability of governments to make informed choices in their attempts of scaling up climate finance. This UfM study aims at providing a better understanding of the required steps for achieving a complete picture of international private climate finance flows in the MENA region, by assessing the opportunities and limitations of the available data and methodologies, as well as laying out the current barriers for tracking and mobilising international private climate finance in the region.
