The Green Climate Fund (GCF), a critical element of the historic Paris Agreement, is the world’s largest climate fund for developing countries. To date, the GCF has approved USD 748.8 million for REDD+ results‑based payments, supporting the avoidance of 138.4 million tonnes of emissions.
Through the permanent integration of REDD+ results‑based payments into its regular project and programming cycle, the GCF supports developing country Parties to the UNFCCC across all three phases of REDD+ through:
The GCF Readiness Programme, supporting national strategies, policies, and institutional capacity
The Project Preparation Facility, enabling countries to develop high‑quality REDD+ funding proposals
Regular project cycle funding, providing results‑based payments for emissions reductions
