The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the primary multilateral fund for climate adaptation and mitigation in developing countries. It operates through accredited entities and National Designated Authorities (NDAs), with a target of splitting funding equally between adaptation and mitigation. While it lacks a formal exclusion list for polluting technologies, it employs investment criteria to avoid high-emission infrastructure. Civil society organizations, including Friends of the Earth, act as observers and advocates to ensure transparency and community involvement.

  • The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is designed as the world's primary multilateral fund for financing climate adaptation and mitigation in developing countries, operating under the UNFCCC.
  • The GCF Board consists of 24 seats, split equally between developed and developing countries, including two seats specifically for least developed countries and small island developing states.
  • Funding is divided equally between adaptation and mitigation, with 50% of adaptation funds prioritized for vulnerable countries, particularly those in Africa and small island developing states.
  • The GCF does not fund projects directly but works through 'accredited entities' which can be public, private, or NGOs at various administrative levels.
  • National Designated Authorities (NDAs) serve as the country focal points and must provide a 'letter of no objection' for funding requests, though there are no minimum global standards for their composition or civil society consultation.
  • The GCF has not established a formal exclusion list for polluting technologies, but uses criteria to avoid 'locking in' high-emission infrastructure and to align with a temperature increase of less than 2 degrees Celsius.
  • As of September 30, 2015, 38 countries pledged nearly 10.2 billion dollars over four years, with 5.76 billion dollars legally allocated.
  • The World Bank serves as the fiduciary administrator and was also accredited as an executing agency in July 2015.
