Tracking climate finance into the transition

This page zooms in on international climate and development finance for African countries – with a focus on clean energy support.

We use international clean energy finance flows (as reported in SDG indicators) and, where available, data on climate fund pledges and foreign aid. All charts are restricted to African countries when the data allow it.
