Abstract

World leaders and governments paved the way for the establishment of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreements made at the Conference of Parties in Copenhagen (2009) and Cancún (2010). The GCF’s objective is to achieve a paradigm shift towards low-carbon and climate-resilient development. This new policy brief explores the measures that will be needed for the GCF to fulfil its ambitions.
