GCF is a global fund created to support the efforts of developing countries to respond to the challenge of climate change. 

GCF was set up in 2010 by the 194 countries who are parties to the UNFCCC, as part of the Convention’s financial mechanism.

The Fund seeks to promote a paradigm shift to low‐emission and climate‐resilient development, taking into account the needs of nations particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts.

We have a special focus on LDCs, SIDS, and African states (min. 50% of overall GCF adaptation funding).

GCF’s activities are aligned with the priorities of developing countries through the principle of country ownership.

A key innovation is to use public investment to stimulate private finance through the Fund’s dedicated Private Sector Facility.

GCF’s Accreditation Framework

GCF works through a network of Accredited Entities (AEs) to channel its resources for  projects and programs.

AEs comprise private and public, non‐governmental, sub‐national, national, regional or international entities.

Accreditation is a fit‐for‐purpose due diligence process ensuring our partners share the same objectives as GCF, and that they have extensive experience and a strong financial and managerial infrastructure.

Mandate & track record Alignment with GCF’s objectives

At least three years of operations

Project size Micro (<USD 10M)

Small (USD 10‐50 M)

Medium (USD 50‐250M)

• Grant award

• On‐lending/blending (loans, equity, guarantees)

Environmental & social safeguards A/I‐1 (potential high impact)

B/I‐2 (medium impact)

C/I‐3 (minimal or no impact)
