Open letter GCF 2019

At its 24th meeting from 12 to 14 November 2019, the Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) will have to decide on a number of funding requests related to REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation), the controversial approach that has dominated international forest climate policy for more than a decade.

Members of the Board must reject these requests for REDD+ funding. In particular, they must refrain from approving the outright climate-damaging IFC funding request for subsidizing a carbon market for private sector REDD+ project credits for which there is neither demand nor justification.
