Green Climate Fund Context
The fund was formally established during the UNFCCC COP 16 in
Cancun in 2010
A significant part of financial resources to combat climate change may
be entrusted to the Green Climate Fund in the future
Envisaged Goal
“the Fund will promote the paradigm shift towards low-emission and
climate-resilient development pathways by providing support to
developing countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas
emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change, taking into
account the needs of those developing countries particularly
vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change” (Source:
UFCCC/CP/2011/9/Add.1)

Why climate finance readiness is crucial now
• Common goal to achieve the target of keeping global warming
below 2° Celsius. We want to support our partners on their way
towards truly sustainable, i.e. low-emission and climate resilient
development.
• Countries need to develop a vision how to manage their own
paradigm shift, and donors need to harmonise, co-finance and join
forces.
• Support for partner countries to get ready both in terms of strategy,
policy, project-pipelines as well as institutionally is vital for effective
spending of funds.
• Readiness is crucial now in preparation for future GCF funding and
to orient development plans towards low-emission and climate
resilient development. We need to bridge the gap until the GCF is
up and running to provide support for this preparatory activities.

Green Climate Fund Readiness
Readiness activities shall facilitate efficient, effective and transparent
use of funds
Possible activities:
Capacity development with regard to access, distribution and use
of funds for adaptation and mitigation measures in relevant
institutions
Support for the development of climate change strategies as well
as development of project proposals for financing by the GCF.
Support for efficient and results-oriented use of funds

Green Climate Fund Challenges for partner countries
Direct access will be one access modality to acquire funds
Accredited national institutions administer themselves resources of
the fund
To access GCF directly, countries will need to demonstrate that they
can meet high fiduciary standards, have adequate environmental
and social governance systems and ambitious and coherent
national climate strategies implemented.
From the perspective of developing countries and emerging
economies, direct access holds:
opportunities as it includes a high ownership of countries
challenges in accessing and making efficient use of financial
resources

Learning from other sectors German BACKUP Initiative
The German BACKUP Initiative aims to provide worldwide support to
government and civil society partners for applying for the resources of
the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria or making
better use of the funds
The BACKUP Initiative has provided supported 436 projects in 73
countries since 2002
Supports CCMs in fulfilling their coordinating function and to
oversee the implementation of programmes
Assists in the preparation of proposals
Supports capacity building for programme implementation

The government of Germany committed 40 Mio Euro in Durban for
readiness support for the GCF, and an additional 10 Mio EUR for the
WB “Climate Finance Readiness Initiative (CIRI)”
The Federal Ministry of Environment (BMU) and the Federal Ministry
for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) each administer 20
Mio
BMZ support will be implemented through GIZ and KfW
GIZ and KfW activities will be closely coordinated

Support for national
institutions, e.g. for performing
the necessary tasks and
accrediting for GCF direct access
modality, supporting the work of
national climate finance
coordination bodies
Strategic and conceptual advice
for climate strategies as base for
financing, e.g. support for National
Adaptation Plans, and Low carbon
development strategy.
Global Sharing of experiences and knowledge transfers: Facilitating south-
south exchanges and sharing best practice examples

Direct and international access:
If development banks or other financial intermediaries are selected as
GCF Implementing Entities, KfW offers support to national authorities in
gaining accreditation under GCF‟s direct & international access modality.
Focused capacity development is offered for development banks on
selection criteria for investment projects and on fiduciary standards and
environmental and social safeguards.
National GCF investment plans and respective project pipeline:
Support in establishing a pipeline of bankable projects for the GCF via
national investment plans in key sectors. This activity includes
investment barrier analyses as well as technical, financial and economic
advisory services for the evaluation of investment proposals.
Pre-feasibility studies may be financed for the most promising project
proposals.
Activities implemented by KfW
Page 14
The program intends to work with an initial set of 6-8 countries
Exact contribution and way of working depends on the existing
capacities in the country
Will be determined after first planning mission in the country.
GCFit
Possible approach: Trainings for key stakeholders, advise
through national and international long-term experts in the
country.
Next steps: In-depth analysis of partner countries´ capacities to
efficiently acquire, administer and use climate finance; identifying
possible NIEs and evaluating their capacities; evaluating existing
ambitions, projects and strategies; identification of needs
