El Fondo Verde para el Clima (GCF, por sus siglas en inglés) es un fondo establecido dentro del Marco de Cambio Climático de las Naciones Unidas para asistir países en desarrollo en las prácticas de adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático. Debido que “las naciones que menos contribuyen a menudo están a riesgo de perder más” dijo Barack Obama en 2014, el GCF promete proveer instrumentos significativos, relevantes y efectivos para concertar un esfuerzo global de afrontar el cambio climático. Los países industrializados se han comprometido voluntariamente a aportar $10.3 billones al GCF para ayudar a países en desventaja económica a reducir sus emisiones de gases de invernadero y tomar acción sobre los efectos irreversibles del cambio climático.
