It is also explicitly mandated to give half its funding to adaptation measures. The data, obtained using freedom-of-information (FOI) requests, showed funding rose year-on-year in the run-up to the Paris Agreement in 2015, but has slightly fallen since. The Climate Investment Fund (CIF) was set up in 2008 to pilot the distribution of climate finance and has been a major distributor of funds over the past four years. This can limit the amount of risk they take in their investments. In this context, the Multilateral Fund’s response involves immediate action to reinforce its role of providing financial and technical assistance to Article 5 countries to sustain the implementation of their phase-out activities under the Montreal Protocol and to contribute to economic recovery post-COVID-19.
The colour of each project point, meanwhile, indicates the level of funds going to that project, ranging from more than $100m to less than $10m. However, these have so far yielded little revenue. Likewise, most of Chile’s $262m in funding came from the CTF, including $67m for a concentrated solar power project and $30m for a geothermal risk mitigation programme. Description. The 88th meeting will be held from 15 to 19 November 2021. There is growing pressure for policymakers to make the architecture of funds more effective and coherent. 07222041, Guest post: Why low-end 'climate sensitivity' can now be ruled out, World population facing water stress could ‘double’ by 2050 as climate warms, Global warming has ‘changed’ spread of tropical cyclones around the world, US sees ‘alarming’ increase in combined heatwaves and droughts, Met Office: The UK’s record-breaking August 2020 heatwave, ‘Extreme’ glacier loss events linked to human-caused climate change for first time, Greenland to lose ice far faster this century than in the past 12,000 years, Arctic sea ice shrinks to second-lowest summer minimum on record, Guest post: How the Greenland ice sheet fared in 2020, Analysis: How ‘carbon-cycle feedbacks’ could make global warming worse, CMIP6: the next generation of climate models explained, In-depth Q&A: The IPCC’s special report on the ocean and cryosphere. The Adaptation Fund is treated here as a standalone fund, even though it is currently being administered by the GEF on an “interim basis” (see below). And, if so, by when? Today, we celebrate 75 years of the UN! Each fund page offers an overview of key details on each of the fund, including: Climate Funds Update maintains as up to date data for multilateral funds as possible. was established by a decision of the Second Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (London, June 1990) and began its operation in 1991.
Their efforts have resulted in innovative virtual on-line solutions ensuring that countries continue to be assisted during this time. The interactive chart below brings that data together to show that the US is currently the leading donor across all four funds, followed by the UK, Japan, Germany and France, respectively. Webinar: Do we need to stop eating meat and dairy to tackle climate change? Happening today: development banks need to #StopFundingFossils more than ever. It also includes where the fund headquarters are located and information about their donors. It’s worth noting that several of these projects have now reached completion. The multilateral climate funds also hold critical political significance, reflecting an acknowledgement by developed countries for historical greenhouse gas emissions and in line with the commitments made by developed countries under the UNFCCC to support developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate change. In addition, 25 million children will be at risk of stunting and other damaging effects of malnourishment. This funding is expected to provide economic stimulus that will allow these small enterprises to remain in operation. We do not offer policy prescriptions or recommendations—we stick to what has been agreed already and what has been proposed by the Board through its documents and webcasts of its meetings, as well as what the GCF Secretariat has proposed in its own documents. Experts: How do diets need to change to meet climate targets? (Note that in September 2017, the GCF approved $265m for the renewables investment Geeref Next project, making it the second largest project overall. The report showed that funding from MDBs was also by far the largest source of new funds, rising by $5bn compared to a year before, while funding via multilateral funds actually fell by $200m compared to the previous year.
In total, the map contains 1,020 projects. Projects range from, for example, green energy access programs in Benin to a resilience program to support communities vulnerable to climate change in Jordan. However, others argue CIF should stay in place for now as the relatively new GCF gets up to speed, since closure could result in investment gaps. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the world’s biggest multilateral climate fund. Factcheck: Is 3-5C of Arctic warming now ‘locked in’? If you notice any mistakes, or omissions, please contact the Climate Funds Update team. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the world’s biggest multilateral climate fund. (See, “The different multilateral climate funds”, below for more details on these funds.).

The map above shows all the projects funded by the four main multilateral climate funds: the Green Climate Fund (GCF); Adaptation Fund; Climate Investment Funds (CIF); and Global Environment Facility (GEF). Funding approval, cofinancing and “cofinancing ratio” (the dollar of cofinancing generated by each dollar of finance provided by the fund), based on data from 2015 and 2016.
Most of its money, therefore, comes from voluntary contributions, with EU member states so far providing around 95%. Credit: Ernesto Benavides/Thomson Reuters Foundation/CIF Action (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0). Meanwhile, the GCF explicitly mandates a 50:50 allocation between adaptation and mitigation. (All the data for all countries is available in this read-only Google Doc.). Meanwhile, WRI has suggested Emmanuel Macron, the new French president, could put a “modest but meaningful” public finance package on the table at his climate summit in December to renew the financial strength of several multilateral climate funds. They distribute public money as both loans and grants, thus are often viewed as particularly important institutions for the $100bn goal.

Much-needed international cooperation has continuously been provided through the Multilateral Fund to governments of Article 5 countries to support them in establishing policies that will support their recovery efforts, especially for sectors in which people’s livelihoods are directly affected by the pandemic. Multilateral funds are important due to their ability to fill gaps in finance that other sources of public finance may miss, since they are typically capitalised as grants.
