The GCF Board requested the Head of the Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) to prepare for consideration by the Board the detailed guidelines and procedures for the Independent Redress Mechanism referred to in the Terms of Reference (TOR) of the IRM in close consultation with similar or equivalent mechanisms of accredited entities and other stakeholders. In 2017, the Board adopted an updated Terms of Reference of the IRM. Paragraph 18 of this Terms of Reference states that “the detailed guidelines and procedures governing the work of the IRM will be approved by the Board. The procedures to be followed will be iterative.”

Based on public and stakeholder comments received during consultations on the development of the TOR and guidance provided in it, the IRM has developed draft Procedures and Guidelines attached following this call.

This call for public comments is part of the ongoing consultative process. Comments from the public are called for, on any matter related to the draft Procedures and Guidelines. Any individual or organization may send comments.
