Summary
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) establishes an initial investment framework consisting of investment policies, portfolio targets, and guidelines. The policy prioritizes projects with high potential for a paradigm shift toward low-carbon and climate-resilient sustainable development, utilizing a 'grant equivalent' method for accounting. Key portfolio targets include a 50/50 balance between mitigation and adaptation over time, with at least 50% of adaptation funding allocated to vulnerable countries, including Least Developed Countries, Small Island Developing States, and African countries. Project proposals are evaluated based on six criteria: potential impact, paradigm shift potential, sustainable development potential, needs of the recipient, country ownership, and efficiency and effectiveness.
Key insights
- The fund's initial portfolio targets specify a 50/50 balance between mitigation and adaptation over time, and require that at least 50% of funds for adaptation projects and programs be allocated to vulnerable countries, specifically including African countries, Small Island Developing States, and Least Developed Countries.
- Project and program proposals are assessed using six primary criteria: potential impact (mitigation and adaptation), paradigm shift potential (including scalability and alignment with the 2°C temperature goal), sustainable development potential (environmental, social, and economic co-benefits), needs of the recipient (vulnerability and lack of other funding), country ownership (national strategies and delivery capacity), and efficiency and effectiveness (financial robustness and cost-efficiency).
