Turning Ambition into Action

The Green Climate Fund is delivering results. Our support helps developing countries adapt to the impacts of climate change, while also driving their transformation towards a low-emissions future. You can see the impact of our work reflected in the pages of this publication, which shows how GCF resources are already transforming lives and protecting the planet. Climate change is coming at us fast, and its impacts are already here. There is no time to lose. The Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows we need to redouble our efforts to rein in climate change, while the World Meteorological Organization has warned record emission levels threaten to close the window of action. We can still succeed, if we combine ambition with resources to drive action. Climate finance is crucial to respond to the urgent need to act. It is vital to the success of the Paris Agreement. GCF acts as a force multiplier to help direct the flow of climate finance to where it is needed most, and to catalyse investments from the public and private sectors.
