How Can We Make Climate Finance Fit for Purpose? A Conversation with the Green Climate Fund’s Mafalda Duarte

October 25, 2024 10:00 am

Join the Center for Global Development for an in-depth conversation with Mafalda Duarte, Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), on her campaign to reengineer the world’s largest multilateral climate fund for greater efficiency and impact, what role the GCF intends to play in the broader development finance system, and what it means for the communities GCF serves.

Just over a year ago, Duarte launched the “50by30” reform agenda to equip the Fund to manage $50 billion by 2030 and be more responsive to developing countries. Her vision focuses on supporting the most vulnerable, unlocking private capital, streamlining operations, and enabling ambitious country investments and programs. Amid calls for the climate finance architecture to evolve, Duarte and CGD Senior Policy Fellow Clemence Landers will discuss how GCF reforms are progressing and what lies ahead for this unique institution that aims to be a partner of choice for climate action across the developing world.
