Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East
Central Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East span diverse economies, ecosystems and climate contexts—from glacier-fed mountain systems and water-stressed basins to rapidly evolving energy systems. Across this diversity, the Green Climate Fund supports country-driven climate action that advances climate-resilient and low-emission development, while advancing an integrated regional programming approach that aligns support with national priorities and capacities.
