GEF's Private Sector Engagement in Climate Finance
Together with our dedicated climate adaptation funds, the GEF aims to accelerate climate finance during in the next four years. The newly completed sixth replenishment of the GEF Trust Fund (GEF-6) will enable the GEF to make about US$3 billion available for climate finance, and leverage up to US$30 billion from other sources.
Climate Finance for Global Impact
Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. It is no longer a threat; it is already a reality. Atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations continue to increase at a rapid pace, and will exceed 400 ppm in the very near term.
Investing in Energy Efficiency
Climate change is here, and its impacts on our planet are becoming more serious at an ever increasing pace.As a financial mechanism of the UNFCCC, the GEF has a unique mandate to deliver on-the-ground benefits to countries needing to adapt to climate change.
