This Sankey diagram displays the flow of climate migration funding from the top 10 donor countries to the top 10 recipient countries. The width of each line represents the amount of money sent to each country between 2002-2018. 

It shows the relationship between donor and recipient countries—principally the US-Mexico, Japan-Pakistan, Canada-Sudan, and UK-Kenya. The funding patterns reflect historical relationships, in addition to emerging donor states like Japan and Canada.

This heat map displays projects funded by the OECD that received a climate "Rio marker": biodiversity, environment, desertification, mitigation, and adaptation. The OECD set up the Rio markers system in 1998 to track the different types of development aid related to the Rio Conventions. Africa has received the most climate projects under this tracking system, and Environment is the most commonly used Rio marker.
