The 'Invisible Hand' of market making in Climate Finance needs strengthening - across designers, investors and recipients in EDMEs. That's why @theGCF joined the Global Capacity Building Coalition launched by GFANZ & @MikeBloomberg at @COP28_UAE today. #inspiremoreclimateaction
Honored to start as @theGCF Executive Director!
Ready to tap GCF's full potential for transformative #climateaction. Our focus: impact with speed, scale, efficiency & inclusion.

Amazing momentum for #ClimateFinance.
Germany has just announced a record €2 billion to @theGCF—a 33% increase from their 1st replenishment pledge!
When confirmed, it will be the largest single contribution in the Fund's history.👏🇩🇪🌿🌍
The 🇩🇪 government will make 2 billion € available for the Green Climate Fund @theGCF. @Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz announced the commitment at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin today. The upcoming @theGCF conference will be chaired by Minister @SvenjaSchulze68. 1/2
Proud to hear @Bundeskanzler announce that🇩🇪 will be increasing our contribution to the next replenishment round of @theGCF to 2Bn (1.5 Bn last round - a 33% increase). We look to all other wealthy nations to join us in similarly ambitious replenishments

Vulnerable countries have been clear on their #climatefinance needs: more for adaptation, as grants, and through direct access.
But at #COP26 we're seeing most developed country finance pledges for mitigation, as loans, and through MDBs.
Worrying disconnect.
Met with @yannickglemarec, Executive Director, @theGCF.
GCF is mandated to support developing countries realize their #NDC ambitions towards climate-resilient pathways.
Was glad to note that >1/2 of GCF’s #ClimateFinance projects are located in SIDS, LDCs, & African States.
