Overview

The Green Climate Fund’s Strategic Plan is a living document, that sets out the Board’s long-term strategic vision for the Fund, as well as its strategic objectives and portfolio targets, strategic priorities and operational priorities for the current programming period.

The current updated Strategic Plan for 2020-2023 was adopted at B.27, to guide the Board in addressing policy gaps and programming GCF resources for the first replenishment period. Progress in implementation has been reported annually, and can be found in documents GCF/B.28/Inf.10/Add.03 and GCF/B.31/Inf.02/Add.02. The GCF Independent Evaluation Unit has also conducted a synthesis study and a rapid assessment on GCF-1 which will also inform strategic planning.

At its 32nd meeting, the Board decided to launch an open, inclusive, transparent consultation process to inform the review and update of the Strategic Plan for the GCF’s second replenishment period, 2024-2027. The overall timeline is set out below:

All GCF stakeholders, including Board and alternate members, National Designated Authorities, Accredited Entities, active observers, observer organizations, parties to the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement, members of GCF panels and groups including the indigenous peoples advisory group, and others were invited to submit views on the review and update of the Strategic Plan in writing to the Secretariat.

The Secretariat will also be conducting a series of engagements with stakeholders over the second half of 2022, with further details and dates to be updated in course.

The GCF Secretariat put out a call for inputs from all fund stakeholders on the review and update of the Strategic Plan 2024-2027, with a requested submission date of 10 August 2022.
