There is a shrinking window of opportunity to address the climate crisis. Average global temperature is currently estimated to be 1.1\u00b0C above pre-industrial times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on existing trends, the world could cross the 1.5\u00b0C threshold within the next two decades and 2\u00b0C threshold early during the second half of the century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C is still narrowly possible and will be determined by the investment decisions we make over the next decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) \u2013 a critical element of the historic Paris Agreement – is the world\u2019s largest climate fund, mandated to support developing countries raise and realize their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) ambitions towards low-emissions, climate-resilient pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our transformative approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We achieve our goal by investing across four transitions \u2013 built environment; energy & industry; human security, livelihoods and wellbeing; and land-use, forests and ecosystems \u2013 and employing a four-pronged approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transformational planning and programming: by promoting integrated strategies, planning and policymaking to maximise the co-benefits between mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Catalysing climate innovation: by investing in new technologies, business models, and practices to establish a proof of concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n De-risking investment to mobilize finance at scale: by using scarce public resources to improve the risk-reward profile of low emission climate resilient investment and crowd-in private finance, notably for adaptation, nature-based solutions, least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing states (SIDS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mainstreaming climate risks and opportunities into investment decision-making to align finance with sustainable development: by promoting methodologies, standards and practices that foster new norms and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Climate change offers businesses an unprecedented chance to capitalise on new growth and investment opportunities that can protect the planet as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n GCF employs part of its funds to help mobilise financial flows from the private sector to compelling and profitable climate-smart investment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
