• GIZ is a German federal enterprise and implementing organisation with a
special focus on long-term capacity development programms
• GIZ’s mission is to promote international cooperation for sustainable
development and international education work
• Main commissioning party: German Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development (BMZ); GIZ also works on behalf of other
German ministries and public/private bodies
• GIZ operates in over 130 countries with more than 17,000 staff members
around the globe
• Projects with climate focus account to 20%
of GIZ portfolio

Seite 5
Why does the OECD DAC data/method
and the strengthening of tracking capacities
in partner countries become more relevant?
→ Focus on 3 key points
use/relevance of OECD data/method and tracking capacities in partner countries
Seite 6
Biennial Update Reports (BURs) by developing country Parties to present
information on „finance, technlogy and capacity-building support
needded and received“ (Decision 2/CP.17)
Future reporting arrangements under the new 2015 aggreement to be further
developed and specified
1. Meeting international reporting requirements under UNFCCC
Seite 7
2. Enhancing opportunities to access funding
… by demonstrating accountable and transparent spending to
donors and financial mechanisms.
Seite 8
3. Strengthening efficiency + effectiveness of climate finance
By in-country tracking aiming for a better understanding of the scale,
sectorial/regional distribution of finance and uncovering trends and
gaps
→ Use scarce (public) finance more efficiently and effectively
→ Use tracking for a „reality-check“: do national policies/strategies match with
funding?
→ Undertake further work on budget risk-analysis: are national investments
climate-proof?
Seite 9
Use and relevance of OECD DAC system and methodology…
1. … as a data source for reporting
2. … as a methodological option for classifying/labbeling
national expenditure by using the climate markers

Primary project goal: strengthening in-country capacities for enhanced
climate reporting (Biennial Update Reports/BURs and National
Communications/NatComs) under UNFCCC
4 pilot countries: Chile, Dominican Republic, Ghana and the
Philippines
Focus on mitigation reporting, but discussions also on reporting on
support including finance
1. Meeting international reporting requirements under UNFCCC
Seite 12
Issues raised by partner countries:
So far no jointly aggreed comon reporting format for BURs → Lack of definition
and understanding on how to report on support including financing
Missing institutional capacity, central institution/coordination structures gathering
and collecting climate-related finance data
Activities included: identification of specific needs and priorities; tailor-made
capacity-building trainings, peer-to-peer exchange; generation of knowledge
products
1. Meeting international reporting requirements under UNFCCC
Seite 13
Knowledge Product: „Biennial Update Report Template“
Template provides reporting guidance by offering structure; guiding
questions differentiated in minimum information and additional information/best
practice; exemplary tables

Further project example activities from Grenada:
„Pilot Programme on Integrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategies“
Climate Expenditure Labbeling analysis and budget tagging of
2015/2016 budgets
Aims:
1. To quantify climate change related expenditures in the national budget
providing better baseline for future analysis
2. To identfy how much of the national budget could be impacted by
climate change
3. To achive a better understanding of formulation of climate change
policy and its linkages to expenditures
3. Strengthening efficiency + effectiveness of climate finance

Consideration of trade-offs: regular snapshot vs. systematic integration?
→ CPEIRs and other budget tagging analyses provide a „snapshot“ of climate
finance; to be conducted on a regular basis
→ Systematic integration of labbeling/classifying climate-related finance in
national budgets can become very labour-intensive; added value need to be
evident.
What are the incentives to set up such a system?
How can national/subnational buy-in be ensured to avoid gaps in
implementation?
Points (and some more questions) for reflection and discussion…
Seite 21
How can harmonisation between various methodologies be
strengthened/ensured (OECD, CPEI, etc.)?
How to ensure that methodology is used consistently within/among
countries?
How can national differences be mitigated when reporting to
international institutions, e.g. UNFCCC?
Are there quality standards and quality checks in order to deliver
meaningful and comparable data?
Points (and some more questions) for reflection and discussion…
