Política sobre Prácticas Prohibidas

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) implements a zero-tolerance policy toward prohibited practices to ensure the integrity of its resources. The policy defines specific misconduct—including corruption, fraud, coercion, collusion, obstructive practices, abuse, money laundering, retaliation against whistleblowers, and terrorism financing—and outlines the obligations of GCF personnel and external counterparties to prevent and report these acts. The Independent Integrity Unit (IIU) is responsible for investigating allegations and recommending sanctions, which can range from formal reprimands and fund cancellation to permanent exclusion from GCF financing and the restitution of misappropriated funds.

• The GCF maintains a zero-tolerance stance on prohibited practices, requiring all involved individuals and entities to adhere to the highest standards of integrity and to avoid any direct or indirect involvement in such practices.
• The policy defines nine specific categories of prohibited practices: corruption, fraud, coercion, collusion, obstructive practices, abuse, money laundering, retaliation against whistleblowers or witnesses, and terrorism financing.
• Counterparties are obligated to implement administrative and fiduciary practices to ensure GCF funds are used only for intended purposes and must cooperate fully with investigations by the Independent Integrity Unit (IIU), including providing access to accounts and records.
• The GCF may impose several administrative sanctions on counterparties, including formal reprimands, cancellation or suspension of funds, restitution of misappropriated funds, and temporary or permanent exclusion from receiving future GCF financing or contracts.
• The Independent Integrity Unit (IIU) is the primary body responsible for the policy's compliance, conducting proactive integrity reviews, investigating allegations, and reporting annually to the Board.
• The GCF reserves the right to reject or disqualify project proposals if it is determined that the counterparty engaged in prohibited practices during the proposal's preparation.
