Since November 2015, GCF has evolved to become the world’s climate fund for developing countries. Its portfolio has grown to over USD 19 billion, with more than 300 projects in over 130 countries. While GCF has made gains, it has the potential to do much more. Since 2023, GCF has been on an ambitious reform agenda to make the Fund more responsive to country needs and more focused on efficiency and impact.
The 10th anniversary of GCF’s operations coincides with the 10th anniversary of adopting the Paris Agreement. Amidst these climate action milestones, this official side event will examine GCF's impact and showcase its partnerships with diverse countries and stakeholders, including findings from the GCF.10 impact report. With the need to reimagine global financial architecture to address today's climate, debt, and development crises, the event looks at how GCF is positioning itself for the next decade by enhancing its efficiency and ambition in delivering impactful climate finance where it is needed most.
