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.

The Structured Expert Dialogue (SED) has reviewed the adequacy of the agreed Long Term Goal of holding warming below 2°C. It has now released a technical summary - showing 2°C limit is too warm for many vulnerable systems and regions, and a 1.5°C limit would be significantly safer.

Confusion remains about concepts like carbon neutrality, climate neutrality, full decarbonisation, and net zero carbon or net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Here we clarify these concepts.

This study explores a situation of staged accession to a global climate policy regime from the current situation of regionally fragmented and moderate climate action.

This paper explores the climate consequences of “delayed near-term action” and “staged accession” scenarios for limiting warming below 2 °C.
