Climate Change Adaptation and Inclusive Finance in Fiji

With support from the USAID Climate Ready project, award-winning FDB was the first development bank in the South Pacific to be accredited to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the world’s largest climate fund. In 2017, it became a Direct Access Entity, meaning it can submit funding proposals to the GCF and oversee the funded projects. Such accreditation is a pathway for countries to gain access to funds that can enable them to act on their own climate change priorities.
