Many LDCs have weaker enabling environments and governance structures, and limited formal banking functions or other capital markets, and as a result, it is more challenging to attract private climate investment in such environments. The figures here exclude unallocated amounts i.e. where the recipient income group could not be specified (e.g. bilateral finance provided to a regional fund). Source: OECD DAC statistical system, estimates are based on USD commitments for 2013 (see Annex 1). Work conducted to date under the OECD-led Research Collaborative on Tracking Private Climate Finance highlights that measuring private climate finance mobilisation is challenging due to the lack of comprehensive data on private finance, methods to estimate the mobilisation impact and the range of actors and complexity of interactions associated with mobilising private climate finance (Jachnik, Caruso and Srivastava, 2015). The study estimated private climate finance mobilised by multilateral and bilateral finance to be USD 12.7 in 2013 and USD 16.7 billion in 2014. Mobilised private financing was estimated and attributed on the basis of private co-financing directly associated with public climate finance instruments at the project, activity or fund level.
