Who it serves

Built for the people who act on the evidence.

Climate Probity serves a coalition of actors with a shared interest in climate finance accountability, across different roles and access levels. Institutions that decide, oversee, and implement; and the public-interest actors who hold the system to account.

Evidence to action, by audience For each stakeholder, the diagram shows what becomes visible through Climate Probity and the action it supports. Funders and DFIs see projects and records warranting closer review, supporting direct assurance. Oversight and integrity bodies see cross-source patterns, supporting a decision on whether formal review is warranted. Implementing entities see documentation gaps, supporting correction of the record. Civil society and journalists see source-linked public-interest evidence, supporting investigation or reporting. Communities see accessible project information, supporting informed accountability questions. STAKEHOLDER WHAT BECOMES VISIBLE ACTION SUPPORTED The same evidence supports different responsibilities.

Institutional

Donor governments & bilateral DFIs

Independent verification of where climate finance goes and how counterparties check out, in a form that supports accountability to legislators and taxpayers.

Institutional

Oversight & accountability bodies

Audit institutions, inspectorates, and parliamentary offices: proactive risk signals with the evidence trace attached, so review time goes to judgment rather than assembly.

Institutional

Accredited entities & implementers

Compliance-oriented entities: counterparty screening and third-party due diligence context specific to the climate finance chain, before commitments are made.

Public interest

Civil society & watchdog organizations

Project-level and systemic outputs designed for accountability work, under an access model built so cost is not the barrier for public-interest use.

Public interest

Investigative journalists

Evidence-based leads that trace step by step to primary documents, supporting reporting that stands up to challenge.

Public interest

Researchers & policy analysts

Longitudinal, source-linked data and a documented methodology for studying how the climate finance system performs.

Access model

The planned model pairs an institutional decision-support service with public-interest outputs that are open by default. Civil society organizations, journalists, and researchers will be able to apply for subsidized or facilitated access. Accountability findings are not placed behind a paywall where doing so would serve institutional interests over the public interest.

Climate Probity is at the proof-of-concept and production-development stage. The service described on this page is the model the platform is being built to deliver, not an operating claim. See current status.
