Enhancing the climate rationale for GCF proposals
This briefing outlines what the climate rationale in a GCF proposal is and identifies some key elements that enhance the climate rationale. These elements include but are not limited to:
- Climate impacts to be addressed;
- vulnerabilities and risks of the climate impacts to human wellbeing;
- dmission trajectories for mitigation projects;
- pathways to shift the emission trajectories for mitigation projects;
- assessment of adaptation options based on priorities;
- how the proposed intervention fits into broader domestic and international policies and decision-making processes.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) seeks to fund projects and programmes that support developing countries to address climate change and achieve a paradigm shift towards low emission and climate resilient development, considering the needs and priorities of those countries most vulnerable to climate change impacts.
