Investment and Financial Flows (I&FF) Assessments

The purpose of UNDP’s Investment and Financial Flows (I&FF) assessments is to determine the costs of climate change measures and potential sources of investment funds. The starting point for the I&FF methodology is that to effectively address climate change adaptation and mitigation, decision makers recognise the need for solid information on current and future climate change-related investments and financial flows, as well as their timing, sources and investment entities. By using the I&FF methodology, countries can determine: 

• how to organise Investment and Financial Flows efficiently;
• what shifts in investments are needed;
• and what additional investments are needed to implement adaptation and mitigation measures and strategies at the national level.
