The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established in 2011 by consensus among the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
GCF is mandated to play a central role in mobilizing and channeling the financial resources required to enable a paradigm shift towards low-emission and climate- resilient pathways in developing countries. The objective of the GCF is to raise $USD 100 billion per year in climate financing by 2020. Currently the fund has been pledged $USD 10.3 billion.
