This project scales up access to climate finance in low- and middle-income countries by developing green bond markets that mobilize investment in low-emission development. It supports GCF’s strategic goal of mobilizing...

As GCF’s first dedicated livestock programme, DaIMA aims to strengthen climate resilience, reduce emissions across the dairy value chain and improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers in East Africa. The dairy sector in...

Cambodia faces increasing climate risks, with rural communities particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The country’s agriculture sector, which employs over 70 per cent of the population, is highly exposed to...

India is the world’s third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide, with its energy supply heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Over the past decade, India has made significant progress and achieved rapid growth in renewable...

Nepal is experiencing accelerated glacial retreat due to climate change, intensifying the risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), which threaten the safety, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure of downstream...

This project advances REDD+ in Papua New Guinea by reinvesting results-based payments into forest governance and sustainable land use. This aligns with GCF’s broader efforts to scale forest and ecosystem investments as...

This project will strengthen the resilience of educational systems in Cambodia, South Sudan, and Tonga by retrofitting schools with climate-resilient features, integrating early warning systems, and embedding climate...

The fertilizer industry is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, driven largely by fossil fuel-based ammonia production. With long-lived infrastructure and high investment costs, the sector faces structural...

Following five consecutive years of severe drought, Madagascar faces profound economic challenges, with annual crop losses estimated at USD 122 million and food insecurity affecting nearly 69 per cent of the population...
