COP27 began on November 6, 2022, against a backdrop of continued greenhouse gas emissions increases, unfulfilled climate financing commitments, and ongoing disagreement between key players on who should shoulder the responsibility for a rapidly changing climate. The conference was expected to be the “implementation COP,” focused on goals, strategies, and responsibility for future climate action.

This partner perspective introduces Publish What You Fund’s two, newly-launched step by step guides on how to track international funding to WEE and WFI at the country level, while answering some key questions about the thinking behind these guides, and how they might be used by others.
