The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to support global climate action, by promoting a low-emission and climate-resilient transition in developing countries. GCF serves the Paris Agreement, supporting developing countries in reaching their contributions.
The GCF funds proposals that are developing country-owned and transformative in their climate impact. GCF aims for a 50:50 balance between mitigation and adaptation investments, and will dedicate at least 50% of its adaptation funding to particularly vulnerable countries, including Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and African States.
