This document provides a summary of the ten GCF sectoral guides. Each guide covers one of the sectors in which GCF operates in detail, outlining the global context for that sector, two to four paradigm shifting pathways that have potential for greatest impact, information on how these pathways can be financed, examples of cases that illustrate the potential in the sector, and the GCF investment criteria.

The summaries focus on the paradigm shifting pathways and the role of GCF in financing these pathways. The objective of the summaries is to provide an overview of sector specialists’ insights and proposed approaches for each sector, thus facilitating a coordinated approach across GCF activities. There are certain cross-sectoral issues that are addressed through multiple sectoral interventions in a complementary manner.
