Selection of the host country of the Fund Evaluation criteria

The document outlines the legal, financial, and logistical requirements for countries bidding to host the Green Climate Fund, as well as the governance structure of the selection committee and the balloting process used by the Board to reach a consensus candidate for COP endorsement.

• The primary criteria for selecting a host country include the ability to grant the Fund juridical personality and legal capacity, provide necessary privileges and immunities to the Fund and its officials, and offer financial, administrative, and logistical support.
• Supplementary criteria for the host city focus on the ability to recruit and retain specialist staff in fund management and climate finance, the quality of the local financial transaction system, and the cost of living.
• The selection process is managed by a Committee of six members with equal representation from developed and developing countries, who must sign an undertaking of impartiality and confidentiality.
• The selection process involves a consensus-seeking approach by the Board, which may include a series of confidential ballots where the candidate with the least support is eliminated in each round until a majority is reached.
