 Research on climate mitigation received only 17% of funding while climate impacts and adaptation each received 40%. A greater proportion of Africa-focused climate funding has gone to social sciences and humanities  than is the case globally  . Data are from an analysis of 4,458,719 research grants in the Dimensions database with a combined value of USD 1.51 trillion awarded by 521 funding organisations globally . The Dimensions database is the world's largest database on research funding flows . It draws on official data from all major funding organisations in the world, mainly government research councils or similar institutions.
