The CI-GCF Project Agency at Conservation International mobilizes and leverages Green Climate Fund (GCF) resources to support national governments, local communities, and key partners to employ nature-based solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
The GCF was established in 2010 as a financial mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The GCF helps developing countries limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change. It seeks to promote a paradigm shift to low-emission and climate-resilient development, taking into account the needs of nations that are particularly vulnerable to climate change.
All developing-country Parties to the UNFCCC are eligible to receive resources from the GCF to respond to climate change. The GCF provides recipient countries with access to funding through accredited international, regional, national, and sub-national entities and intermediaries (including NGOs, government ministries, national development banks, and other domestic or regional organizations that meet the GCF’s standards).
