The target for OECD countries to contribute $100 billion per year to climate finance for poor countries over the period 2020-2025 was approved in 2015 and appears to run into 2023 before it is met.

Progress can be seen in this plan, but at the same time there is still much to be done, but the plan with the OECD report indicates transparency and responsibility,” said Alok Sharma, President Cop 26, in a commentary: “It is a step towards rebuilding confidence and giving developing countries more assurance of predictable support.”
