The key takeaways you’ll receive

On B.39, you'll receive a breakdown by our dedicated GCF and climate finance experts. We present our discussions with a background of many years of experience supporting and collaborating with the Green Climate Fund, and closely follow their progress as an organisation. You'll be able to watch our consultants eloquently discuss the current movements of the GCF and why they're significant.

On the 26th GCF insight report, you will learn the current thoughts, experiences, and opinions of a unique set of stakeholders, each with their own views and challenges when collaborating with the GCF in the development of projects and programmes that benefit Small Island Developing States. Respondents from all around the world contributed to our findings, and so we’ve been able to dig down into the real experiences and top challenges of a large array of SIDS and GCF stakeholders.
