GCF at COP28

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) will be at COP28, which runs from 30 November to 12 December in Dubai, UAE.

We’ve created a microsite: https://cop.greenclimate.fund, where you will find links to relevant GCF events, stories, and publications. Please subscribe to our special COP28 newsletter to stay tuned.

As a main operating entity under the financial mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), GCF takes guidance from the Conference of Parties (COP) on its policies, programming priorities, and eligibility criteria. The GCF delegation will be observing the official negotiations, and hosting and taking part in various events.

Climate Funds pavilion

For the first time ever, GCF, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Adaptation Fund (AF), and the Climate Investment Funds (CIFs) will have a joint pavilion at COP.  The pavilion is on the second floor of Thematic Arena 3 in the Opportunity Petal of the Blue Zone.

 There will be five joint Q&A sessions at the pavilion on thematic topics where each fund will present and have experts on hand to answer questions:

• 4th December 13:15 – 14:45 – Gender
• 5th December 13:15 – 14:45 – Accessing funds and Coherence & Complementarity
• 6th December 13:15 – 14:45 – Mitigation
• 8th December 15:15 – 16:45 – Adaptation
• 9th December 13:15 – 14:45 – Nature-based solutions

Drop by the pavilion to learn how GCF works and how GCF collaborates with other climate funds to promote complementarity and coherence in the climate finance landscape.
