Special Climate Change Fund - SCCF

The Special Climate Change Fund, one of the world’s first multilateral climate adaptation finance instruments, was created at the 2001 Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to help vulnerable nations to address these negative impacts of climate change. The SCCF facilitates the inclusion of resilience and adaptation in larger efforts backed by the GEF trust fund, and in projects that promote private sector involvement. The SCCF’s main goal is to facilitate the creation of strong, climate-resilient economies and communities.
