Climate finance: How much are emerging economies paying?
Emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil are contributing significantly more to the international financing of climate action measures than generally assumed. For example, a study shows that in 2020, China paid more than two billion US dollars in climate aid to other countries in the Global South, both directly and indirectly. Other G77 countries contribute hundreds of millions. This is according to an extensive study by the renowned British think tank Overseas Development Institute (ODI).
