Cities
Cities can contribute to the Green Climate Fund. Based on the commitments made under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Fund accepts pledges from city authorities that wish to make a significant contribution to the global response to climate change. Similar to sovereign entities, economically strong cities can make a financial contribution to GCF to help advance global mitigation and adaption efforts in less advanced urban environments.
The shift towards greater urbanisation is a major trend on the planet. Currently, around half of the human population live in cities. This figure is set to grow rapidly – so much so, that, by 2050, it is anticipated that close to 70% of the world’s population will be living in an urban environment. This demographic trend also has impacts on the planet’s climate. Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s emissions. They consume more than 70% of the world’s natural resources and use some 70% of the world’s energy.
As of 31 July 2020, the Green Climate Fund has raised USD 1.3 million equivalent in pledges from 1 municipal government.
