The research group Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) released its Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2025 report.
The report found that global climate finance reached a record $1.9 trillion in 2023 — a 15% increase over 2022.
Finance with both mitigation and adaptation benefits tripled since 2018, reaching $58 billion in 2023.
Private finance surged past $1 trillion for the first time.
It was driven by the household investments in electric vehicles (EVs) and rooftop solar, while public finance dropped 8% amid fiscal tightening in major economies.
Climate finance remains regionally concentrated, with 79% flowing to East Asia and the Pacific (mostly China), Western Europe, and North America, where 89% of funds were domestically sourced.
Sub-Saharan Africa and other EMDEs sourced just 23% of their climate finance domestically.
International public finance to EMDEs has doubled to $196 billion since 2018.
