Activity-Based Mitigation Tracking
Projects are tagged against the MDB eligible activity list. Only the specific climate component of a project is counted — not the total project value. This is the Conservativeness/Granularity principle.
Three-Step Adaptation Verification
Adaptation projects must pass three sequential checks: (1) Vulnerability Context, (2) Statement of Intent, (3) Direct Causal Link. Projects failing any step are excluded from climate finance totals.
OECD DAC Gender Marker Cross-Tag
Every MDB project is cross-referenced with OECD DAC Gender Markers (G0–G2). G2 = gender equality is the principal objective. G1 = significant objective. G0 = not targeted. Used to compute the Gender-Responsive Climate Finance pool.
