for example some climate funds focus on adaptation some on mitigation some on specific geographical regions this means that it would be challenging to distil a common definition of climate finance effectiveness for example climate finance that is also oda is required by definition to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries as well as leading to climate benefits thus existing approaches and frameworks in use to assess effectiveness at the level of specific interventions are often multidimensional the range of objectives of different sources and channels of climate finance can also influence assessments of climate finance effectiveness this is because managing the results of an intervention to meet multiple goals eg carbon sequestration improved local livelihoods increased biodiversity may lead to different choices in allocating climate finance to specific intervention types andor locations than managing an intervention to maximise an individual goal eg carbon sequestration
