Partners

GCF works with a wide range of partners in the national, regional and international levels.

Overview

The active engagement of diverse stakeholders is in the DNA of the Green Climate Fund. The GCF Board is mandated to grant Accredited Observers access to its meetings. To this end, four observers are able to participate in Board sessions — two representatives from accredited civil society organisations (CSOs), one each from developed and developing countries, and two from accredited private sector organisations (PSOs), also one each from developed and developing countries.

These observers, known as Active Observers in Board proceedings, are identified through a self-selection process. Representation is for a term of two years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms.
