Key Senior Managerial Appointments for Climate Change

The Green Climate Fund (“the Fund”) is a new multilateral Fund that was created under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The main purpose of the Fund is to make a significant and ambitious contribution to the global efforts of limiting the warming to 2° Celsius by providing support to developing countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The Fund will be innovative and will promote a paradigm shift to help developing countries transform to a low-emission and climate-resilient development path. It will consider the needs of those developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts and will also help meet sustainable development goals.
