The EU Member States and the European Commission see transparency in climate finance as key to building trust. Currently, the EU and its Member States have obligations to report on financial support provided both under the international UNFCCC framework and under the EU framework, namely Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21.5.2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to climate change and repealing Decision No 280/2004/EC (Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (MMR)). The study should provide support for assessing and aggregating the information received through the various reporting obligations, also improving methodological approaches. Furthermore, it will be important for the EU and its Member States to develop their approach to climate finance in the light of ongoing work streams under various processes (e.g. OECD, MDBs) and in view of the role of climate finance in the future Climate Agreement. The contract also involves tasks relating to the developments in these areas.
