Independent intelligence, analysis and decision support for climate finance

Following the record
across climate finance.

Climate Probity brings together project information, counterparties, institutional records and public sources across climate and development finance. We help institutions and other stakeholders understand what the available record establishes, identify material risks and information gaps, and make better-informed decisions.

Analysis directs attention. Evidence and professional judgment determine the conclusion.

Demonstrated

Working methods and analytical tools connect project, procurement, counterparty and public records, surface review questions, trace analysis to evidence and support expert judgment.

Being strengthened

Broader source coverage, secure analytical environments, quality assurance, specialist review capacity and operating procedures for institutional engagements.

Longer-term direction

Independent intelligence and decision support for institutions, alongside public-interest research and analysis where broader disclosure advances transparency or accountability.
