Green Climate Fund

Green Climate Fund

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the world’s premier multilateral climate fund. It funds projects in developing countries that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help vulnerable communities adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.

The GCF was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and also serves the Paris Agreement.

Since before the GCF was even established, Friends of the Earth U.S. has been campaigning to ensure that it would meet the needs of peoples in developing countries through democratic processes and policies resulting in climate projects of the highest social and environmental caliber.

We are working to make sure the GCF does not fund dirty energy, and that it does not become an institution dominated by multinational corporations, wealthy countries, or Wall Street investors that would leave critical, yet unprofitable, climate priorities by the wayside.
