Green Climate Fund

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a global fund created to respond to climate change by investing in low-carbon and climate-resilient development.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2010. Its mission is to make a contribution towards combating climate change by helping developing countries to reduce their carbon emissions and adapt to climate change.
The GCF invests primarily in the following areas: production of and access to renewable energy, resilience of communities vulnerable to climate change, forest protection, climate-friendly cities and infrastructure, and food and water security.
The Fund aims to strike a balance between financing the reduction of carbon emissions and the adaptation to climate change, taking into account the needs of particularly vulnerable countries. It also seeks to strengthen the commitment of the private sector.
The GCF works with accredited bodies to implement its activities on the ground.
