Given the variety of country contexts and limited guidance, there are significant variations in how this information has been reported, some of which could potentially be resolved through common guidance (Table 6). For those that do provide some useful insights, the process can be complex, and can involve compiling information from a range of different agencies or bodies within the national government, publicly available information from various international sources (e.g. regional development banks or UN bodies) and bilateral climate finance providers. Argentina, for example, reports that it simply used publicly-available information in donor countries’ databases.
