Evaluation of climate finance - Funding commitments in transition

Over the past decade, the issue of climate change has played a prominent role in Dutch development cooperation and foreign policy. The Netherlands aimed to reach poor countries and target finance for adaptation to climate change. Did Dutch aid reach the intended countries, and which sectors and target groups benefitted? The Netherlands also used ODA to mobilise private sector finance. What was the additionality of these public funds? And what should future climate finance look like? This evaluation, as part of a larger set of studies on climate change policy, provides answers to those questions.
