01
People and specialist expertise
Analytical, research and domain expertise to examine complex climate-finance records, counterparties, implementation issues and integrity risks.
Funders and strategic partners
Build independent analytical capacity for climate finance.
Founding support can strengthen the people, evidence resources, research, secure analytical systems, quality controls and institutional relationships required for rigorous climate-finance intelligence and decision support. Funding expands the work. It does not determine the conclusions.

A demonstrated approach with room to grow.
Climate Probity has established its founding principles, analytical standards and working methods for connecting dispersed climate and development finance records, examining counterparties and relationships, and supporting evidence-based decisions. Support would expand source coverage, specialist expertise, research, quality assurance and institutional engagements.
What support would strengthen
The organization behind the analysis.
02
Data and evidence resources
Broader source coverage, structured evidence resources and reliable access to institutional, public and commercial information needed for analysis.
03
Secure analytical environment
Research systems, analytical tools, access controls, information management and operational security appropriate to professional and confidential work.
04
Institutional engagement and research
Selected engagements, partnerships, capacity development and public-interest research that test and extend the practical value of the work.
Accountable milestones
Progress funders and partners can test.
Broader source coverage and a documented evidence base across priority climate-finance records.
Analytical standards and review processes applied consistently across real assignments and research.
Selected institutional engagements demonstrating practical value for due diligence, monitoring, oversight or decision support.
Governance, conflict-management and transparency arrangements developing in proportion to organizational scale and risk.
Independence
Funding should build capacity, not influence conclusions.
Funding may support Climate Probity’s work. It does not entitle a funder or partner to a predetermined conclusion, preferred evidentiary treatment or control over professional judgment.
Institutional engagement
Test value against real decisions.
Engagements can be structured around practical questions: whether connected evidence improves decision quality, reduces time spent assembling records, identifies material risks earlier and makes the basis for professional judgment clearer.
Decision relevance
Does the analysis identify information that materially improves a decision, review or prioritization?
Evidence efficiency
Does connected evidence reduce the time spent gathering, reconciling and checking records?
Clarity and judgment
Does the analysis make clear what the evidence establishes, what remains uncertain and what requires specialist or institutional judgment?
Founder
