Key Policy Issues in the Green Climate Fund: A Guide for the Perplexed

This guide by the World Resources Institute provides an educational overview of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the world's largest multilateral climate fund, focusing on its policy direction and undecided operational issues to help stakeholders navigate the organization.

• The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the largest multilateral climate fund globally. Its objectives include mobilizing public and private finance to enable a paradigm shift toward climate-resilient development and low-emissions, maintaining a balance between adaptation and mitigation funding, and promoting gender-responsive activities and policies.
• Despite being highly transparent, the GCF is difficult for both new and experienced stakeholders to navigate. There are several undecided or early-stage policy issues regarding operational effectiveness that will significantly impact the Fund's mission and its recipients.
