We asked a wide range of experts a straightforward question: does a digital platform exist that tracks climate finance all the way from pledge to project to impact? Every single one said no.

That gap is what Open Contracting Partnership (OCP) is bringing to London Climate Action Week this year. Governments are making serious commitments on climate finance. Billions are being pledged. But once that money leaves a donor, it largely disappears, no system tracks what gets procured, what gets built, or whether it is delivered. Two-thirds of climate-related funding is either unreported or unrelated to its stated purpose. Fewer than 20 countries even have climate budget tagging systems.

We’ve spent the past year figuring out what it would take to fix that. Our new research, From Pledges to Projects to Procurement, lays out the blueprint for a national digital platform that connects the full chain: from international pledge to government budget to contract to community. It’s based on interviews with over 16 major stakeholder groups from government, multilateral institutions, civil society and private investors, and draws on what we learned running the coordination office for DREAM, Ukraine’s first-of-its-kind public investment management system.

If you’re working on country platforms, climate finance tracking, or digital public infrastructure, find us this week. We want to hear what you’re building and share what we’ve learned.

Where we’ll be:

• Bigger than [Silo] Strategy: Practical tools and strategies to bust silos and unlock systems approaches
  Tuesday, 23 June, 2pm-3:30pm, Uncommon Holborn – Flexible Office Work Space (registration full)
  • Our Executive Director Gavin Hayman will participate in a discussion alongside colleagues from CIFF and the Partnership for a New Economy. Hosted by Sharing Strategies and Global Commons Alliance. 
  • Topics covered:
    • Role of public procurement in global development & the transition economy
    • What we can learn from existing digital public investment platforms like Ukraine’s DREAM & the InterAmerican Development Bank’s MapaInversiones
    • How we might scale these solutions to meet the climate finance challenge
• Climate Finance in Practice: Tracking, Pricing and Delivering
  Tuesday, June 23, 3:30pm-4:30pm, XCHG Spaces (register for the event)
  • Our Head of Advocacy Kristen Robinson will co-lead a discussion alongside partners from EarthON Foundation and CSI Global on how we move from theory to practice in making the most of the funds we have for climate and improve implementation.
  • ​Discussion Questions
    • ​How can climate finance mechanisms through banks, development finance institutions, and private investors be redesigned to reach underserved and climate-vulnerable communities more effectively?
    • ​What role should digital public infrastructure play in tracking climate finance flows, increasing transparency, and strengthening local accountability?
    • ​How are climate risks and opportunities being reflected in asset pricing today, and where do significant gaps remain?
    • ​What changes are needed to ensure climate finance supports fragile and marginalised communities while still attracting larger pools of institutional capital?
• Roundtable: The Missing Middle of Climate Finance: Bridging Climate Ambition and Investment
  Wednesday, June 24, 10:30am-12:30pm, Overseas Development Institute (invitation-based)
  • Our Head of Advocacy Kristen Robinson will join a roundtable discussion hosted by the World Resources Institute. This roundtable will focus on translating climate ambition into action on the ground.
  • Organized by WRI India and WRI Mexico in partnership with Energiva Ventures and AVPN, with support from the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), the session will bring together stakeholders to examine the challenges local governments face in implementing climate action and the role finance can play in overcoming them.
  • Drawing on live experiences from India and Mexico, the roundtable will surface practical recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, climate finance specialists and institutional investors. OCP will share the experiences of our team and partners developing and implementing digital public goods for public procurement and investment.
