Making sure the money for climate action in MENA is being spent efficiently
Climate finance is an essential component to enabling climate action, and large-scale investments are needed. The WBG, the biggest multilateral funder of climate investments in developing countries, delivered over US$109 billion in climate financing between 2016 and 2021, including a record $26 billion in FY2021. The WBG’s Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) committed US$25 billion on average in annual financing between fiscal years 2021 to 2025 for initiatives that lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and foster adaptation, while reducing poverty and improving development outcomes.
