In climate change science, adaptation means preparing for and adjusting to climate change's current and future effects. This evaluation of the GCF’s adaptation portfolio and approach assesses what it takes for the GCF...

This evaluation assesses whether the GCF’s approach and investments have been relevant and effective in reducing the vulnerability of local communities in LDCs and of their livelihoods to the effects of climate change,...

The Sustainable Landscapes for Eastern Madagascar (SLEM) project (FP026) aims to increase the resilience of smallholder farmers and reduce carbon emissions by implementing climate-smart agriculture and sustainable...

This evidence review will combine two different evidence gap maps into one learning exercise on transformational change. We will indirectly review the evidence on transformational change in two sectors where there has...

The final report and final brief offer examples of transformational change in the energy and public health sectors at scale, with depth and duration. We identify lessons on transformational change from these two sectors...

The goal of the GCF is to support a paradigm shift towards low-carbon, high-resilience pathways. It is thus important to understand if such a paradigm shift is occurring, and, if so, to measure the extent to which the...

This evidence review describes the evidence base on private sector investment in mitigation and assess and describes the modes of funding for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.  This evidence review inclufdes an...
