At the fourteenth meeting, through decision B.14/03, the Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) requested the Secretariat to develop “a request for proposals (RFP) for REDD+ results-based payments (RBP), including guidance consistent with the Warsaw Framework for REDD+ and other REDD+ decisions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

While the UNFCCC guidance including the Warsaw Framework provides guiding pillars for REDD+, operationalization of REDD+ results-based payments at the GCF requires further analysis and discussion of elements related to technical and procedural aspects in the context of the governing instrument of the Fund and current procedures. These elements have been identified in section 4.1 of document GCF/B.14/03 and section 3 of document GCF/B.15/Inf.07. These elements have also been discussed in the GCF dialogue at the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) and analyses undertaken to date on the existing UNFCCC guidance and current GCF policies, standards and procedures.

This call seeks inputs from REDD+ stakeholders on those identified elements through a structured template which is included below. A parallel process focused on GCF procedures and mandates requiring Board decisions and the technical modalities is being conducted for board members.
