The information on climate-related development finance presented in this paper is derived from the analysis of data contained in the DAC Credit Reporting System (CRS) database, using the Rio marker methodology. The Rio Conventions were established in 1992 on Climate Change, Biological Diversity and Desertification. Developed country Parties committed to assist developing countries in the implementation of these Conventions. The Rio markers use a scoring system of three values, in which development cooperation activities are “marked” as targeting the environment or the Rio Conventions as the “principal" objective or a “significant" objective, or as not targeting the objective.
