Synopsis (short abstract) FAO's work on climate change plays a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture, fishery and forestry sectors and enhancing vulnerable communities' ability to adapt to a changing climate. This general fact-sheet on FAO's work with the Green Climate Fund (the world's largest dedicated fund for climate action) describes, in brief, how FAO helps countries catalyse investments that contribute to transforming agrifood systems, making them more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind.

    The Green Climate Fund Handbook for North Macedonia was prepared by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, under the leadership and guidance of the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs as National Designated Authority to the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

The document introduces key facts about the Green Climate Fund. It aims to provide guidance to stakeholders engaged in the area of climate change and sustainable development on how to access GCF resources and implement GCF-funded projects in North Macedonia. It is expected that these efforts will contribute to the successful implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions and to overall achievement of the objective of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and SDG 13 on Climate Action.

    Green Climate Fund country programme for Equatorial Guinea 2019
    Also available in:
    The Republic of Equatorial Guinea developed this Country Programme to provide an overview of the national scenario, the country’s political framework and its plans and priorities for combating climate change. The Country Programme includes a set of projects and programmes for submission to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). These projects and programmes meet GCF criteria and reflect national priorities. They are intended to prompt a national paradigm shift. This Country Programme is designed to act as a flexible and continually updated programming framework. It will be subject to periodic reviews and adjustments depending on the country’s plans and programmes. The list of ideas for priority projects or programmes may therefore be subject to changes and updates. The Country Programme is the outcome of a consultation process with various national stakeholders. These include ministries, local institutions, the private sector and civil society, as well as Accredited Entities (AEs) located in the country and the GCF focal point.

    For over a decade, developing countries have been urged to engage in forest sector activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing forest carbon stocks sustainably. These activities, known as Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD+), are vital for global climate change efforts, as confirmed by the Paris Agreement. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) supports REDD+ initiatives to help countries combat climate change and promote prosperity. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as a certified accredited entity to the GCF, assists government counterparts in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America in accessing GCF resources and provides technical support in proposal formulation.
