Abstract
The prevailing issues in the Green Climate Fund on implementation and governance
can be seen as symptoms of the ills of the international climate finance architecture.
These are compounded by the inadequate financial support provided by developed
countries to developing countries and the low volume of funding channelled to ad-
aptation projects. Evidently, the cited issues highlight the need to fully integrate the
principles of justice and equity into the global climate change regime. Thus, this policy
brief discusses the key challenges related to climate finance, and outlines several
options and considerations on improving the Green Climate Fund operations using a
climate justice lens. This paper intends to take a more normative and ethical discussion
on the topic of climate finance.
