countries
5. Next steps
Iden5fying climate, biodiversity-‐ & deser5fica5on-‐related finance
4 Rio markers: • Climate Change Adapta5on, and Mi5ga5on • Biodiversity • Deser7fica7on
+ 1 Environmental Marker
• Rio markers indicate policy objec5ves Ø i.e. ac7vi7es targe7ng Rio conven7ons as a principal
objec7ve, a significant objec7ve, or not at all Ø Applied ex-‐ante, purpose based, cross-‐cuDng and mul7ple
objec7ves can be tagged • To ensure common understanding among reporters, applica7on of each marker guided by: Ø Defini5on, eligibility criteria, examples, and guidance Ø Recorded in CRS repor7ng direc7ve & Handbook
• The Rio markers are descriptive rather than strictly quantitative • Track mainstreaming and allow for an approximate quantification
of financial flows targeting the objectives of the Rio conventions. • 2013: climate-related development aid added up to USD13.9 bn
principal; USD10.5 bn significant.
Main characteris5cs of Rio markers
Principal +significant data = Upper bound or total es4mate
Principal data only = Flows specifically targe4ng Rio conven4ons
• Finance reported by Parties to the conventions is often based on, but may not be directly comparable to, Rio marker data
Possible applications of Rio Marker data for partner countries
• Open database, transparent, activity-level data, accessible online, frequently updated.
• Allows to compare results from Rio Markers with national external climate-related development finance statistics, find gaps
• Assess trends in alignment of donor funds with country priorities and strategies
• Rio Markers methodology provides examples for in tracking own climate budget (guidance on sectors, activities, examples)
Next steps
• Improve definitions of markers and provide guidance to donors to improve quality of marking
• Expand tracking of green finance beyond ODA and reflect reality of development finance landscape through Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD)
• Continue to improve access to database and use of information by partner countries through training, webinars, dedicated workshops
• Pilot case studies to compare data and tracking approaches
• Ongoing work to improve basis for quantification of Rio markers

To what & how are the markers applied?
Coverage • Bilateral flows only • Official Development
Assistance (ODA) – Since 1998 for biodiversity,
climate mitigation and desertification
– Mandatory from 2006 flows – Adaptation introduce and
mandatory from 2010 flows • Other Official Flows (OOF)
– Voluntary basis since 2012 (excl. export credits)
Application • Every activity screened • Excluding:
– general budget support imputed student costs,
– debt relief except debt swaps,
– administrative costs, – development awareness,
and, – refugees in donor countries
• Commitments basis
• Allows tracking of multiple objectives simultaneously whilst avoiding double counting

Key features and caveats: Tracking of Mul5ple
How does the marker methodology indicate policy objec5ves?
Activities are screened, identified and marked as either, targeting the Rio conventions as a: • 2 = Principal
objective • 1 = significant
objective, or • 0 = not targeted
Access the data
• Data can be analysed from two perspectives
Recipient perspec7ve Provider perspec7ve
How many resources were invested in Mexico for renewable energy projects?
How many resources did Norway invest to fund adapta5on projects?
Bilateral provider
Mul5lateral ins5tu5on
Developing country
Bilateral flows Rio marked

Recipient perspec5ve = bilateral flows Rio marked + climate component of mul5lateral ouZlows Provider perspec5ve = bilateral flows Rio marked + Imputed mul5lateral contribu5ons
