Estimating the GHG impacts of Dutch international climate finance efforts
The aim of this report is to estimate the mitigation impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that can be attributed to Dutch climate finance.
The researchers determined the potential annual and cumulative results of GHG emissions for 2030 and 2040 based on nine programs, a small part of the total Dutch climate finance efforts. This is a novel area in climate finance reporting and the approach taken in this study has been designed to minimize the risk of over-estimation and to ensure a careful outcome. While this research provides an estimate rather than a precise figure, the findings indicate that Dutch climate finance significantly contributes to global mitigation efforts.
