  • Ms. Julie Robles, Manager – Partnerships Program and GCF Portfolio, GGGI

Direct access to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a key modality through which developing countries can mobilize investment for their climate priorities. The partnership between the GCF and GGGI demonstrates how shared visions and goals between international organizations can enhance the capacity of developing countries to access climate finance resources and contribute to the achievement of the NDC and SDG targets. More recently, both organizations are taking adaptive measures to help developing countries carry out a climate-resilient recovery to the pandemic. Mobilizing climate investments that foster a paradigm shift towards low-emission, climate-resilient development with co-benefits which contribute to job creation and food security among other socio-economic benefits. GGGI and GCF have already established a strong track record of collaboration in using the GCF Readiness Programme.
