Abstract
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the largest climate fund currently in operation, offering both mitigation and adaptation projects in a wide range of countries. Projects can operate using different access modalities, these being international access and (enhanced) direct access. The GCF has been criticised for the large funding imbalances between international and (enhanced) direct access, with the former taking up the vast majority of funds. Such issues of climate justice at the scale of the fund as a whole have been the cause of much debate.
However, less attention has been given so far to climate justice outcomes at the level of individual projects, and to the influence that access modality may have on this. This thesis aims to explore this relationship between access modality and project-level climate justice outcomes. The research consists of a series of general interviews and three case studies on specific GCF projects, which in turn consist of documentation analysis and interviews. The results indicate that access modality as such has no definitive impact on justice outcomes. The specific policy arrangement that the access modality translates into, however, does clearly have its influence on justice outcomes.
