Rich countries are making little progress towards meeting their pledge to provide $100 billion a year to poorer nations to combat climate change, the OECD said on Friday.

Developing countries, which bear the greatest impact from climate change, received $79.6 billion in 2019, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said in its latest report on the issue.

The 2019 figure is the most recent available and marked a two percent increase from the year earlier, a sharp slowdown from the rates of earlier years.And watchdog groups have warned that even those numbers may be inflated. "While appropriately verified data for 2020 will not be available until early next year it is clear that that climate finance will remain well short of its target," he said.

Public climate finance from developed countries accounted for the lion's share of the 2019 figure, some $62.9 billion, with another $2.6 billion in government-backed export credits.The rest, some $14 billion, came from private investment mobilised by public mechanisms.
