This report by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) provides a legal analysis of the Global Environment Facility's (GEF) Resource Allocation Framework (RAF). The RAF uses a GEF Benefits Index (GBI) and a GEF Performance Index (GPI) to determine funding allocations for recipient countries. The study evaluates whether this framework is consistent with the GEF Instrument and the guidance provided by the Conferences of the Parties (COPs) of the conventions the GEF serves, specifically the UNFCCC and the CBD.

This working paper by the World Resources Institute (WRI) analyzes the resource allocation approaches of 15 climate, environment, and development funds to provide design recommendations for the Green Climate Fund's (GCF) allocation system.
