Abstract

Ensuring that climate finance is used effectively will help to maximise its impact. The effectiveness of climate finance can be defined as the extent to which an activity attains its stated aims. These aims can vary, depending on the source of climate finance and how it is channelled. There are therefore different views on what “effective” climate finance is, as well as on how this effectiveness can be assessed. This paper explores how different communities view climate finance effectiveness; the policies or institutional pre-conditions that facilitate effectiveness; and how effectiveness is currently monitored and evaluated. The paper concludes by discussing the conflicts and trade-offs encountered in assessing effectiveness and a possible way forward in balancing multiple views and priorities. En veillant à ce que le financement climatique soit rationnellement utilisé, on contribuera à maximiser son impact. L’efficacité du financement climatique peut se définir comme étant le degré de réalisation des objectifs déclarés d’une activité donnée, lesquels peuvent varier en fonction de la source et des circuits de financement. Par conséquent, les avis divergent sur ce que signifie un financement climatique « efficace », ainsi que sur la façon dont cette efficacité peut être évaluée. Ce rapport étudie comment différents milieux ou communautés considèrent l’efficacité du financement climatique, ainsi que les politiques ou les préalables institutionnels qui la favorisent et les méthodes actuellement utilisées pour assurer le suivi et l’évaluation de cette efficacité. Il conclut par une analyse des contradictions rencontrées et des arbitrages à opérer lors de l’évaluation de l’efficacité, et propose une voie à suivre pour concilier les multiples points de vue et priorités à considérer.
