Cadre d’investissement initial

The GCF's initial investment framework defines the rules for granting grants and concessional loans to support low-carbon and climate-resilient development. It sets a 50/50 balance between mitigation and adaptation, prioritizes vulnerable countries, and outlines six criteria for evaluating project proposals, including potential impact and paradigm shift potential.

• The GCF's investment policies prioritize projects and programs that demonstrate maximum potential for a 'paradigm shift' toward low-carbon and climate-resilient sustainable development, following a country-driven approach.
• For the first resource replenishment period (GCF-1), the fund aims for a progressive 50/50 balance between mitigation and adaptation. It establishes a floor of 50% of the adaptation allocation for vulnerable countries, specifically including Least Developed Countries, Small Island Developing States, and African states.
• The GCF seeks to maximize collaboration with the private sector, including SMEs and micro-enterprises, with a target that the allocation to the Private Sector Facility (PSF) exceeds 20%.
• The fund provides the minimum necessary concessional financing (grant equivalent) to make a project viable, and it specifies that loans are only supported for income-generating activities that are inherently financially sound.
