Abstract
Developing nations encounter significant challenges in accessing the necessary finance to meet climate goals. The emerging ‘Data-to-Deal’ approach is a collaborative effort by
60 specialists, which aims to addresses this by providing a flexible framework of options, tailored to individual country circumstances, aiming to enhance core functions and
capabilities; it serves as a basis for concrete action, informing capacity building, technical assistance, and research.
This paper argues for the mainstreaming of a holistic approach to accessing climate finance by outlining the components of the Data-to- Deal pipeline and showing the effectiveness of Data-to-Deal through the demonstration of its
successful implementation in Costa Rica.
