Developed nations have met the $100 billion/year climate finance goal for three consecutive years — but the headline number doesn't tell the full story.
👉Mitigation finance still dominates; adaptation finance is growing, but slowly
👉73% of public climate finance is delivered as loans, not grants, and concessional bilateral lending is declining
👉Private finance rose in 2024, but low-income countries received just 3% of it
With new climate finance goals (NCQG) on the horizon and rising climate finance needs, the goalposts have already shifted.
Watch @SehrRaheja from @CSE_Climate's decode the key messages and issues of concern from the new @OECD report in the explainer below⬇️

📢Solar now regularly contributes close to one-third of India’s mid-day power generation. Thread 🧵(1/6)
On 21 May, India’s peak power demand met hit yet another all-time high at 270.7 GW, continuing a streak of record-breaking electricity demand this summer.
💡India’s climate ambition so far was hinged on a target of rapidly raising power capacity from non-fossil sources, whilst generation lagged. What we are seeing now is power generation from renewables ramping up gradually to eat into the share dominated by coal. (5/6)
