Effective support for climate change adaptation: Key tasks for the Green Climate Fund in 2015

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) became the world's largest multilateral adaptation finance institution after donor governments committed US$10.2 billion by the end of 2014, with half allocated to adaptation. For 2015, the brief suggests the GCF promote locally-owned adaptation through 'small grants' and National Implementing Entities, while noting that the operational future of its Private Sector Facility remains uncertain.

• By the end of 2014, donor governments committed an initial US$10.2 billion to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). With half of these funds dedicated to adaptation, the GCF is the world's largest multilateral adaptation finance institution.
• To promote effective adaptation that is owned locally and by countries in 2015, the GCF can pilot 'small grants' approaches via enhanced direct access, utilize the experience of National Implementing Entities, and integrate adaptation aspects into its accountability and investment frameworks.
• The effectiveness of the GCF's Private Sector Facility regarding climate change adaptation remains uncertain, with critical operational decisions scheduled for 2015.
