GCF ( Green Climate Fund ) Korea

• 
• Given the urgency and seriousness of climate change, the purpose of the Fund is to make a significant and ambitious contribution to the global efforts towards attaining the goals set by the international community to combat climate change. The Fund will contribute to the achievement of the ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
  In the context of sustainable development, the Fund will promote the paradigm shift towards low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways by providing support to developing countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change, taking into account the needs of those developing countries particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
  The Fund will be guided by the principles and provisions of the Convention.

The Green Climate Fund will be provided a world-class office site in a low-carbon, eco-friendly new building, I-Tower.
Green technology such as LED lighting and solar water heaters are fully utilized.
The I-Tower is dedicated to fulfilling its public purpose and will fully support the successful operation of the Green Climate Fund.
