The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a global climate finance institution established to support developing countries in their efforts to combat climate change. With a shrinking window of opportunity to address the climate crisis and global temperatures already 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels, GCF focuses on limiting global warming to 1.
5°C through strategic investment decisions over the next decade. The fund operates through a comprehensive governance structure including a GCF Board, accredited entities, and national designated authorities to ensure effective climate finance delivery across countries and regions.
GCF's investment approach centers on the critical next decade being determinative for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The fund recognizes that investment decisions made now will determine whether the world can avoid crossing dangerous climate thresholds, with current trends suggesting potential 1.5°C warming within two decades and 2°C warming in the second half of the century.
