Rangelands cover more than half the Earth's land surface — yet up to half are degraded or at risk.

On , we recognise the critical role rangelands play in climate resilience, food security, and the livelihoods of 2 billion people worldwide.

In the Sahel — where temperatures are rising 1.5x faster than the global average — GCF projects support the Great Green Wall countries' goal to restore 100 million hectares of degraded landscapes, combat desertification, and build climate resilience.

With over $3.8 billion in GCF financing invested in the Great Green Wall region, we're helping vulnerable communities transition to climate-resilient agriculture, ecosystem restoration, and renewable energy access.

Recognise. Respect. Restore. 🌍 More about our work on the Great Green Wall in the comments section. 👇🏽

Helping bring climate finance closer to countries and strengthening partnership for impact 🤝

GCF hosted the onboarding workshop for its third batch of Liaison Officers at our headquarters in Incheon, Republic of Korea, bringing together 14 newly appointed officers 🇦🇴 🇧🇼 🇨🇻 🇬🇲 🇸🇿 🇲🇼 🇲🇷 🇲🇳 🇵🇼 🇹🇴 🇻🇺 🇬🇪 🇧🇷 🇬🇹 for a week of learning and exchange.

The workshop strengthened their understanding of GCF policies, processes, and operations. Through hands-on sessions, Liaison Officers prepared for their assignments in developing countries, where they will support stronger coordination, timely communication, and country-driven climate priorities.

The GCF Liaison Officer scheme is a key initiative under the Readiness Strategy 2024–2027, designed to strengthen countries’ engagement with GCF and improve access to climate finance where it is needed most.

Climate innovation needs more than a good idea. It needs patient capital to grow. 💡 🌱

Through its equity investment in the Avaana Capital Sustainability Fund II, GCF is supporting climate-tech startups in India that are developing solutions in energy storage, sustainable packaging, electric mobility, and circular food systems.

These companies show how early-stage investment can help de-risk innovation, mobilise private finance, and bring climate solutions to scale. Read more ▶️ https://gcf.co/4xkRekd

Social protection systems are emerging as core instruments for adaptation — now formally recognised under the Global Goal on Adaptation.

GCF’s latest publication brings together two first-of-their-kind analyses:
📗 Literature Review - examines global evidence on the interface between social protection and climate finance
📗 Portfolio Review - maps how social protection already features across GCF’s investments

Together, they lay the groundwork for scaling social protection within climate finance in order to reach the most vulnerable. Prepared by Oxford Policy Management, this work builds momentum ahead of COP31.

Acting on climate could prevent millions of deaths and trillions in economic losses by 2050.

GCF's $20.1 billion portfolio of investments in 350 projects across 134 developing countries supports economies in transitioning to low carbon, climate-resilient growth.

This is a reminder that acting — whether you work in energy, consumer goods, infrastructure, or any other sector — delivers a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future for all.

At , hosted by Ministry of Environment - Rwanda and UN Climate Change, it was evident that developing countries are moving beyond planning and looking for practical pathways for climate project implementation. Countries are seeking ways to move pipelines forward, align climate finance with national priorities, and accelerate implementation.

The GCF Team, represented by Pavlos Troulis, Head of Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme, engaged with countries on these issues. As a climate finance partner, GCF helps advance the climate pipelines and institutional capacity of developing countries through instruments like our Readiness Programme, Project Preparation Facility, and funding proposals. To date:

✅ 120 developing countries have received GCF support for National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)
➡️ 63 developing countries have submitted their NAPs to UNFCCC with support from GCF

The challenge that lies ahead is translating those plans into investments that can be financed and delivered at scale. For GCF, the Expo was a timely reminder that our role is to help developing countries move from readiness to results and turn ambition into .
