participation
in
building
an
effective
financial
architecture
to
deal
with
climate
change,
the
GFLAC
created
a
methodology
for
the
analysis
of
national
and
international
climate
finance
flows.
The
methodology
aims
to
monitor
not
only
the
flows
that
countries
receive
from
international
financing
and
cooperation,
but
also
flows
that
countries
spend
to
combat
climate
change
through
their
public
budgets.

Having
started
in
Mexico,
the
GFLAC
expanded
in
2012
to
other
countries
in
the
region.
Currently
9
countries
in
the
region
(Argentina,
Bolivia,
Chile,
Ecuador,
Guatemala,
Honduras,
Mexico,
Nicaragua
and
Peru)
have
or
are
participating
in
the
application
of
the
methodology,
having
identified
lessons
and
challenges
for
better
and
more
effective
execution
of
funds
associated
with
climate
change,
for
both
mitigation
and
adaptation.
Given
the
lack
of
a
methodology
and
a
general
understanding
of
how
to
classify
climate
finance
flows?,
What
is
the
funding
for
adaptation
and
mitigation?
And
other
aspects,
the
GFLAC
established
criteria
to
identify
climate
change
related
activities,
same
as
set
forth
below:
1. CRITERIA
FOR
THE
IDENTIFICATION
OF
CLIMATE
CHANGE
RELATED
ACTIVITIES,
GFLAC.
1.
Actions
speci-ically
assigned
and
/
or
labeled
for
climate
change:
these
actions
are
those
that
were
created
exclusively
for
addressing
climate
change,
ie,
they
are
in
addition
to
the
actions
that
were
being
done
before.
Example:
Programs
climate
change,
climate
change
commissions,
or
any
action
whose
stated
objective
is
the
Cight
against
climate
change
and
/
or
is
entitled
as
such.
2.
Actions
that
reduce
greenhouse
gases
emissions
in
emitting
sectors
by
country
(mitigation)
(take
into
account
actions
stipulated
by
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
(IPCC)
as
a
baseline).
3.
Actions
that
reduce
vulnerability
and
promote
adaptation
to
climate
change
(based
on
the
actions
promoted
by
the
IPCC).
4.
Actions
that
have
both
impacts,
emission
reduction
potential
and
reduction
of
vulnerability
and
increase
resilience
potential.
5.
Exclusion
criteria:
Activities
that
can
increase
the
problem
or
that
have
a
negative
impact
in
the
environmentl
and
in
the
society,
(nuclear
power,

1. Direct-Indirect

There
is
no
clarity
about
what
is

of
the
finance
provided.
Is
important
to
distinguish
between
administrative
costs
of
the
donor
country
(and

or
intermediary
agents)
and
the
funds
that
benefit
the
project
or
the
recipient
country
directly.
2. Conceptual
limitations
about
climate
change:
There
are
no
general
criteria
among
donors
to
define
what
is
considered
as
mitigation
and
adaptation
for
climate
change
(particularly
complex
in
adaptation).
