Climate Finance and Factors Dataset

The dataset was compiled to examine determinants of climate finance and assess allocation logics with respect to financial instruments and objectives.It is used in a journal article and can be further used by providing panel dataset of bilateral donor–recipient climate finance flows and relevant country-level explanatory variables. The dataset combines project-level climate finance information from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS) with country-level socioeconomic, governance, climate vulnerability, environmental, and trade indicators obtained from publicly available international databases.

Climate finance variables include adaptation finance, mitigation finance, and total climate-related finance reported in constant 2023 US dollars. Additional variables include Official Development Assistance (ODA), GDP, greenhouse gas emissions, bilateral exports, the ND-GAIN Vulnerability Index, governance indicators, and democracy measures. The dataset covers bilateral climate finance flows between donor and recipient countries for the period 2008–2022.
