How much international finance is flowing into clean energy in Africa – and how does this compare to broader development finance?
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.
Data sources: Our World in Data grapher files for international clean energy finance, foreign aid and Green Climate Fund pledges. Values are shown in constant US dollars where available.
