The Green Climate Fund (GCF) aims at mobilizing funding at scale to low-emission and climate-resilient projects and programmes in developing countries. KfW was among the first Accredited Entities of the Fund and has successfully submitted one of the first project proposals to the GCF, called Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Mainstreaming in Bangladesh. Jochen Harnisch (KfW-Head of Division Climate) interviews Claudia Arce (KfW-Director South Asia) and Johannes Scholl (Project Manager of the KfW project in Bangladesh) on chances and challenges arising from as well as their first experiences with the GCF.
