Status of the GCF portfolio: pipeline and approved projects

As of 31 January 2017, the GCF pipeline consists of 50 funding proposals requesting USD 3.5 billion and 189 concept notes with a potential funding request of USD 9.1 billion. The pipeline is split between public-sector (37 proposals) and private-sector (13 proposals) requests, with a significant focus on adaptation and mitigation in least developed countries, small island developing States, and African States. The document also outlines the progress of the first pilot programme for micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which aims for a total portfolio of up to five proposals within a USD 100 million envelope.

• As of 31 January 2017, the GCF pipeline includes 50 funding proposals requesting USD 3.5 billion in GCF funding to support projects and programmes with a total value of USD 14.3 billion, including co-financing.
• The funding proposal pipeline is divided into 37 public-sector proposals requesting USD 2 billion and 13 private-sector proposals requesting USD 1.5 billion.
• Geographically, the pipeline's requested funding is distributed across Asia-Pacific (USD 1,139.7 million), Latin America and the Caribbean (USD 855.5 million), Africa (USD 815.8 million), cross-regional activities (USD 638.0 million), and Eastern Europe (USD 17.1 million).
• Proposals targeting African States, small island developing States, and least developed countries account for 34 of the 50 pipeline proposals and 58 per cent of the total requested GCF funding, amounting to USD 2 billion.
• In terms of the pipeline's thematic focus, 63 per cent of the number of proposals target adaptation, while 37 per cent target mitigation; however, by funding amount, 44 per cent is for adaptation and 56 per cent is for mitigation.
• The estimated climate impact of the pipeline includes the reduction or avoidance of 2.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and the benefit of reduced vulnerability or increased resilience for 174 million people.
• The GCF pipeline also contains 189 concept notes with a potential funding request of USD 9.1 billion, with 62 per cent of this amount targeting African States, small island developing States, and least developed countries.
• The first pilot programme for micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) is expected to consist of up to five proposals within a USD 100 million envelope, with two proposals already approved: the 'Business Loan Programme for GHG Emissions Reduction' (USD 20 million) and 'SCF Capital Solutions' (USD 12.2 million).
