# Safeguarding Climate Finance Procurement: National-Level Procurement of the Green Climate Fund URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/national-level-gcf-procurement Type: Publication or report Published: 2018-06-29 Updated: 2026-01-06 --- 29 June 2018 In 2015, when countries signed the Paris Agreement on climate change, they committed to mobilising US$100 billion per year by 2020 to assist developing countries in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change. This money will primarily be channelled through the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as the main financial mechanism under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The [first part of this study](https://www.transparency.org/whatwedo/publication/safeguarding_climate_finance_procurement) considered the robustness of the institutional procurement policies of the GCF itself. This part assesses the public procurement standards related to GCF-funded projects. Understanding these standards is of critical importance as funding begins to flow out of the GCF. The study draws on past experiences of other similarly structured funds and current best practices in the field of open contracting to identify options for increasing the GCF’s and its delivery partners’ capacity to avoid corruption. ### Related publications ## [Regional Assessment of Integrity in Political Finance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/integrity-political-finance-asia) Publication • 03 September 2026 This report reviews systems across 17 countries to identify the areas of political finance most in need of reform. ## [Annual Report 2025](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/annual-report-2025) Publication • 17 July 2026 In 2025, Transparency International pursued its mission to stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society. ## [Connecting the Dots: How financial intelligence units expose corrupt money flows and how they could do more](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/connecting-the-dots) Publication • 24 June 2026 Financial intelligence units can play a key role in uncovering corruption, but only if they have the powers, resources and access to information they need. ## [Whistleblowing Authorities in Europe: Roles, challenges and lessons learned](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/whistleblowing-authorities-in-europe-roles-challenges-and-lessons-learned) Publication • 19 June 2026 This report examines the institutional design, mandates and functioning of national whistleblowing authorities across Europe. ## Priorities - [Climate crisis](https://www.transparency.org/en/our-priorities/climate-crisis) ## Projects - [Climate Governance Integrity Programme](https://www.transparency.org/en/projects/climate-governance-integrity-programme) - [Towards Inclusive Governance for Forest Carbon Markets](https://www.transparency.org/en/projects/towards-inclusive-governance-for-forest-carbon-markets) ![](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2018_Report_NationalProcurementGCF_English_116.jpg?auto=compress&fit=crop&fm=webp&w=1200) [Download](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2018_Report_NationalProcurementGCF_English.pdf)
