Green Climate Fund

At the UN climate summit in Cancún (COP16, 2010) it was decided to establish the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in order to scale up funding for climate action in developing countries. In order to prepare details for the GCF, a Transitional Committee was established, composed of 15 members from developed countries and 25 members from developing countries. Its task is to work out agreed documents in 2011 which should be presented to COP17 in Durban. The official website of the Transitional Committee can be accessed here: http://unfccc.int/cancun_agreements/green_climate_fund/items/6038.php

Germanwatch has closely followed the process of the Transitional Committee in 2011 and has prepared reports on the different meetings.
