This process document is an attempt to revisit the experiences of engaging with the government ministries and departments in developing a method for tracking climate expenditure in the overall development expenditure. A total of eleven ministries and ten departments related to climate change programmes cooperated together to develop the methodology for tracking climate expenditure. Among the eleven ministries which were involved, some are already focused on climate change activities.The rest, which do not have such programmes, will gradually incorporate them in the future. This document summarises the process of conceptualization of climate budget indicator (climate budget code1 in this document), formulation of its criteria, methods of application, and finally its implementation. This document also explains why the government has prioritised tracking climate expenditure.
The concept of developing Climate Change Budget Code emerged when the National Planning Commission (NPC), with support from UNDP/UNEP, conducted a Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review (CPEIR) in August 2011. The CPEIR (NPC/UNDP/UNEP/CDDE, 2011b) was a followup activity to the Future of Climate Finance in Nepal (NPC/UNDP/UNEP/CDDE, 2011a), a study conducted in 2010. The CPEIR recommended developing a feasible method for tracking climate expenditure in the public finance system. The Climate Change Budget Code has now been implemented in the National Budget of the fiscal year 2012/2013 to facilitate tracking of climate expenditure.
