The Green Climate Fund has approved its first eight projects including two from Small Island Developing States (Fiji and Maldives) and three from Least Developed Countries (Bangladesh, Malawi and Senegal).

Crossing the threshold of 50 per cent of the pledges covered gives the GCF Board the authority to start allocating funding to concrete project and programme proposals. This is a major milestone in the evolution of the Fund.

This briefing provides an update on the status of Green Climate Fund contribution agreements signed by governments as of 30 April 2015 - the GCF's initial deadline to reach the 50% threshold needed to begin to disburse funds.

2015 is a critical year for the Green Climate Fund as the Fund is set to finally start running its operations, bringing to life the mechanisms that the Board has been designing over the past three years.

This fact sheet shows the pledges made to the Green Climate Fund ahead of the November 2014 meeting in Berlin.

This paper summarises possible options for design elements of a Green Climate Fund allocation mechanism.
