Funding
The work plan finally agreed on only underscores the SCF’s contribution to the operational definitions of climate finance. In addition, it invites submissions on this issue by 30 April 2020, to assist the SCF in preparing its 2020 Biennial Assessment and Overview of Climate Finance Flows. Furthermore, the Decision encourages the SCF to present, ‘to the extent possible’, disaggregated information on climate finance flows and needs of developing coun- tries, including information on data availability and gaps by sector. On loss and damage, the Decision notes the inputs the SCF provided to the technical paper on sources of and modalities for accessing financial support for addressing loss and damage; and looks forward to future input from the WIM to the SCF on its work to develop draft guidance for the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environment Facility.41 Discussions on National Adaptation Plans (NAP) were taken up in plenary and informal consultations. Discussions focused on challenges in accessing financial resources for NAP formulation and implementation. In its decision34, the COP takes note of the Adaptation Committee’s work on gaps and needs and invites Parties to share information on activities to address gaps and needs. Developed countries were urged to mobilise support for adaptation activities in developing countries. The decision also notes challenges to access funding from the GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme for the formulation of NAPs. SBI is requested to work further on gaps and needs and the implementation of NAPs.
