(k) Information on action and plans to mobilize additional climate finance as part of the global effort to mobilize climate finance from a wide variety of sources, including on the relationship between the public interventions to be used and the private finance mobilized.
(l) Information on how financial support effectively addresses the needs and priorities of developing country Parties and supports country-driven strategies.
(m) Information on how support provided and mobilized is targeted at helping developing countries in their efforts to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement, including by assisting them in efforts to make finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development.
(n) Information on efforts to integrate climate change considerations, including resilience, into their development support.
(o) Information on how support to be provided to developing country Parties enhances their capacities.
