Top 5 climate finance knowledge gaps

GCF insight #13

In the thirteenth GCF insight, we reveal the ‘Top 5 climate finance knowledge gaps’, as identified by key stakeholders.

‘As the landscape of climate finance continues to evolve, the global discourse on its definition, mechanisms, and criteria remains a complex matter for most stakeholders. While significant progress has been made in disseminating information on climate finance flows, fund architecture and their limitations and on providing toolkits for scoping out climate finance opportunities to developing GCF Proposals, knowledge gaps persist – particularly for those stakeholders who should benefit most from accessing these funds.

This report explores the main knowledge gaps in understanding climate finance, as identified by different stakeholder groups. We hope to shed light on key issues, necessitating further research; for better access to information; and for increasing access to climate finance.’
