The Green Climate Fund has adopted a new strategy for cities, buildings and urban systems. It aims to accelerate the carbon transition by supporting integrated urban policies and innovation, particularly in decentralized renewable energy, energy efficiency in buildings, urban design and the circular economy. Over the past 5 years, the Green Fund has co-financed a portfolio of urban projects worth USD 1.84 billion, representing a mitigation of 1046 million tons of CO2 eq. To access the financing of the Green Fund (grants, loans, guarantees, equity), local authorities can contact one of the 103 entities accredited to the fund.
