Green Climate Fund: Resource Mobilization, Recent Projects


Resource Mobilization
The Green Climate Fund (GCF)  was officially opened for
capitalization at the U.N. Climate Summit in September
2014. (See CRS In Focus IF10382, The Green Climate
Fund (GCF)  for a history and overview of the fund.) The
GCF's  initial resource mobilization (IRM) lasted from 2015
to 2018. As of the most recent reporting, April 30, 2019, the
GCF  had raised over $10.2 billion (all amounts are in U.S.
$ equivalent) in signed pledges from 48
countries/regions/cities during the IRM period. Table 1
shows the pledges of the top 20 donor parties and the funds
contributed as of April 30, 2019.
