Transparency in the Climate Funds

This chapter examines the extent to which the standard of transparency is upheld within the policies and practices of the Climate Funds and assesses its potential impact on the rights and interests of individuals based in recipient countries. The analysis begins by scrutinizing the content and scope of the standard of transparency in global institutions as defined by relevant literature. This standard is then applied to the specific context of the Climate Funds to identify the key elements that the Funds should be incorporating into their policies. Following this, the chapter dissects the policies and practices of the Funds governing this standard and engages in a critical analysis of the implications for the rights and interests of local communities.
