# Climate Finance Data

Access to adequate finance and investment is essential for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

It can also help investors and civil society understand how these funds are being spent, and how they are making a difference, informing future finance flows. Currently, no standard methodology to quantify climate finance has been adopted internationally.
