Over $5 trillion of climate finance investment is per year by 2030. This need far outpaces the $1.7 trillion currently flowing annually to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. But how much is flowing, to where, and in what forms? Where are the needs, and what do we know about how they will evolve over the coming years?

Radical improvements to the transparency of climate and other SDG finance are needed — and can increase not just accountability but ambition, from public and private investors, on the global and local levels.

This session aims to share insights between investors, international organizations and civil society organizations on the successes and challenges on improving climate finance transparency. During the session, we will explore options can be used by suppliers and recipients of financial flows to fill in the gap, translate date into financial decisions, and open up data to the world.
