Climate Finance Reform Compass
CPI has created the Climate Finance Reform Compass to facilitate consensus and coordinate action among governments, civil society, and the private sector on the full range of international financial architecture reforms needed to meet the global climate challenge. It identifies pragmatic goals and milestones for action across nine thematic areas and 29 key reforms, noting the current status, key resources, and where we need to be by 2030. The themes below are used to organize and promote consistency across the individual reform topics included in the Compass. They align with the principles laid out in the COP28 UAE leaders’ declaration on a Global Climate Finance Framework. Our hope is that this information will help to focus efforts on actions where change could happen.

Tracking and Mobilizing Private Sector Climate Adaptation Finance
CPI has developed a methodological and data approach to improve tracking of private sector adaptation finance. These efforts have increased private adaptation finance tracked by more than four times from the approximately USD 1 billion previously tracked in CPI’s Global Landscape of Climate Finance (GLCF) on average annually for the period 2019 to 2022 for the same set of private sector institutions. By applying the new methodology – including a bespoke taxonomy for identifying adaptation-relevant private finance – the tracking in this report now captures annual average flows of USD 4.7 billion from the private sector to adaptation-relevant activities.
