Local Actors are Ready to Act: 6 Views on How the Green Climate Fund Could Reach Them

This paper is part of a one-year project called ‘Exploring local access to the Green Climate Fund’. It was developed on the premise that local actors are not only crucial players in tackling climate change and adaptation, but can also comply with fiduciary standards and safeguards, especially when the GCF takes its commitment towards readiness and capacity support seriously. A number of climate finance experts, GCF Board Members and people actively involved in climate change adaptation share their views on how they think the Green Climate Fund should deal with direct access and the devolution of funds to the local level.
