  3. What is Climate Finance Copenhagen (2009): Art. 8: “…In the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation, developed countries commit to a goal of mobilizing jointly USD 100 billion dollars a year by 2020 to address the needs of developing countries. This funding will come from a wide variety of sources, public and private, bilateral and multilateral, including alternative sources of finance…” Definitions used by IFC: Mitigation implies either reduction in emissions of GHGs into the atmosphere or absorption of GHGs from the atmosphere. Adaptation implies reduction in the vulnerability of human or natural systems to the impacts of climate change and climate variability related risks by maintaining or increasing adaptive capacity and resilience.  Special Climate are activities that contribute to mitigation, but for which no IFC approved GHG reduction calculation methodology exists.  Trend: Post 2015 Climate and Development Finance
