GCF and Just Climate sign agreement to mobilize climate investment at COP30
On November 14, 2025,At the ongoing COP30 international conference in Brazil, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Just Climate signed a partnership agreement aimed at mobilizing and attracting institutional capital to fund projects addressing the impacts of climate change in emerging economies.
The agreement is expected to support investment in key areas, including renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, and nature-based solutions.
GCF and Just Climate stated that the initiative will help mobilize significant international capital from investment firms and financial institutions, support early-stage projects to reach larger investment markets, and strengthen the capacity of emerging economies to attract and manage climate-focused investments.
Just Climate will provide advisory services for project preparation and monitoring, while GCF will provide funding and expertise to link projects with investment markets.
This development represents a major step forward for emerging economies, particularly in Africa, where lack of funding for environmental projects has often been a major challenge.
The partnership is expected to enable countries to access sufficient financing for large-scale projects, increase their ability to attract key global investors, and implement projects that conserve forests, land, and water, thereby helping to combat climate change.
The agreement between GCF and Just Climate marks a significant milestone in advancing #Finance4Climate, aiming to connect the private sector with developing countries to find sustainable solutions to climate change.
Signed during COP30, the agreement further demonstrates that international cooperation remains critical in addressing climate change and finding solutions for emerging economies.
