Update on status of reporting to the DACOutflows from multilateral climate funds and multilateral agencies

Several UN agencies, the GEF, the MDBs report on their contributions to the CRS, but do not assign Rio markers.

CIFs have not reported on their contributions to the CRS yet.

Collaboration to explore ways to record and reconcile data obtained from the MDB Joint Approach with the CRS.

Data on climate co-benefits at contribution level received so far from the World Bank and the African Development Bank.

Update on status of reporting to the DACInflows to multilateral climate funds and multilateral agencies

Contributions from donors to the CIFs, GEF LDCF, GEF SCCF, UNFCCC and Montreal Protocol are counted in their totality as multilateral contributions for climate purposes.

Only a share of core contributions from donors to multi-purpose organisations is counted: the share of the organisation’s outflows targeting climate change. Share of GEF’s outflows targeting climate change is 32%

Share of IDA’s outflows targeting climate change is 30%

Share for other MDBs is not reflected yet in DAC statistics.

Options to improve the treatment of multilateral flows

O15.Develop a comprehensive and single system for attributing to donors core multilateral flows that target climate change

O16. Harmonisation of MDB and Rio marker methodologies

O17. Review of multilateral funds included in DAC Annex 2 (or not)

O18. Retroactively report historical data using the most recent rules for the bi/multi fund split
