As the Green Climate Fund enters its third formal replenishment, the GCF observer network of civil society, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities emphasizes that the process must focus on ensuring the Fund has the necessary resources to support the growing climate needs of developing countries, who have consistently been deprived of adequate support as they face the worst climate impacts.

The focus should not be on the perceived scarcity of resources, nor in accommodating the concerns of so-called “donors”, but rather on fulfilling both long-standing and recent obligations. Additionally, as in previous replenishments, full transparency and accountability must be upheld as hallmarks of the GCF.

While these steps are aimed at increasing effectiveness, much work ahead remains to ensure the Fund’s lasting impact.

The proposal for expanding the Green Climate Fund’s regional presence is being deliberated on today at the 44th Meeting of the GCF Board (B.44).

For the GCF observer network of civil society, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities, meaningful regional presence is not just about proximity: a wider, sustained, and inclusive consultation with local communities, CSOs and Indigenous Peoples in the countries is necessary to shape priorities, influence decisions, and hold institutions accountable.
