Replenishing the GCF as a Force for Transformation

Please join us for the side event “Replenishing the GCF as a Force for Transformation,” at the Bonn Climate Change Conference, SB50, on Saturday June 22 from 11:30-13:00 in Room “Kaminzimmer.”

As the GCF seeks its First Replenishment, what lessons learnt, needed course corrections, strategic programming decisions and broader coherence efforts must the GCF apply to drive implementation of the Paris Agreement and bring scaled-up finance and transformational change to developing countries?

This event will bring together perspectives from the GCF Secretariat, GCF Board, research, and civil society to discuss how the GCF can capitalize on the replenishment process to drive climate action forward and reach its transformative potential.
