Notes
- 1.
The 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness adopted five principles to strengthen aid effectiveness and 13 targets to measure their implementation, which were to be achieved by 2010. The principles and targets were confirmed in Accra in 2008. The Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan in 2011 shifted the focus from purely aid effectiveness to a more holistic approach that looks at the contribution that effective development cooperation can make to overall development effectiveness, marking a turning point in the international consideration of development cooperation.

For example, in 1992 the World Conference on Development and Environment initiated the Global Environment Facility , a mechanism to facilitate aid for the environment. The OECD’s Green Growth Strategy , announced in 2009, aims to help developing countries achieve economic growth, job creation, environmental protection and the development of more equitable societies.

In this book the term ‘climate finance ’ is applied both to the financial resources devoted to addressing climate change globally and to financial flows to developing countries to assist them to address climate change (IPCC 2014b).
