GCF as seen through the eyes of Turkish artist Gokce Irten

"Symmetry of Shared Strength": Two mirrored figures stand face-to-face, holding space for a vertical exchange of seeds, knowledge, and collective energy. Woven with İznik-inspired motifs and organic shapes, the piece reflects how climate resilience relies on equal partnership, balancing adaptation with mitigation to sustain life from the roots up.

Visit us at the Climate Funds Pavilion

At COP31, GCF cohosts the Climate Funds Pavilion with the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Adaptation Fund. Together, these funds are the backbone of multilateral climate finance. The pavilion is a hub to meet and connect with the funds, and explore how they work  to make climate finance more accessible and effective.
