# Support to developing countries, 2020-present

This dataset provides data on how much financial, capacity building and technology support the EU Member States and other countries have either planned, committed, or provided to developing countries in relation to climate change mitigation or adaptation. The dataset holds further details on the provided support, e.g., the recipient of support, the financial instrument, the funding source, the concrete projects which benefited or the targeted sector.  
The Member States submit their data to the European Environment Agency (EEA) via the online platform Reportnet 3. Reporting is mandatory for EU Member States. Some information is only mandatory to report if the data is available. The data is then quality checked by DG CLIMA at the European Commission. DG CLIMA also performs aggregation of the data and combines them with other data sources (European Investment Bank, European Commission). 

This data is being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation 2018/1999. The Regulation aims to help the EU meet its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement.
