Status of the GCF resources, portfolio and pipeline

As of 31 August 2025, the GCF has a total pledged amount of USD 30 billion and has committed USD 18 billion to 314 projects across 133 countries. The portfolio is split between adaptation (58% in grant-equivalent terms) and mitigation (42%). The Fund's accredited entity network consists of 153 entities, 66% of which are direct access entities. The Readiness Programme portfolio has grown to USD 749.1 million. The current pipeline includes 142 concept notes and 66 funding proposals requesting a combined USD 12.3 billion in GCF financing, which exceeds the projected commitment authority for 2026–2027. The Secretariat is implementing pipeline optimization measures to retire inactive proposals and align with the 2024–2027 Strategic Plan.

• As of 30 June 2025, the GCF's total pledged amount is USD 30 billion, with USD 28.8 billion confirmed through signed agreements. The total committed funding is USD 20.3 billion, leaving an available commitment authority of USD 2.9 billion.
• The GCF accredited entity (AE) network comprises 153 entities as of 31 August 2025, with direct access entities (DAEs) making up 66% of the network. However, 102 out of 154 eligible countries still lack national accredited DAEs.
• The Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme portfolio reached USD 749.1 million for 874 grants by 31 August 2025, with a disbursement rate of 63.9%. Support is heavily targeted toward vulnerable regions, with 93 of 142 recipient countries being LDCs, SIDS, or African States.
• The GCF has committed USD 18 billion to 314 projects in 133 countries. In grant-equivalent terms, 58% of the portfolio is invested in adaptation and 42% in mitigation. Energy generation and access is the most funded sector at 21% of total funding.
• The GCF pipeline as of 31 August 2025 consists of 142 concept notes (requesting USD 8.1 billion) and 66 funding proposals (requesting USD 4.2 billion). The total pipeline value of USD 12.3 billion exceeds the projected commitment authority of USD 5.9 billion for 2026–2027.
• The Project Preparation Facility (PPF) has committed USD 67.9 million across 109 applications, which has helped unlock USD 7.8 billion in total climate finance, including USD 2.8 billion from the GCF.
• To manage the pipeline, the GCF implemented a two-phase optimization exercise in 2025, retiring 100 inactive concept notes between March and May, and another 30 in July and August.
• The GCF is targeting underserved countries, with three underserved countries having their first single-country funding proposals approved at B.42, and up to three more expected at B.43.
