UN Green Climate Fund faces replenishment challenge

MANILA — Over a month after taking the helm at the world’s largest international climate fund, Yannick Glemarec has his sights set on accelerating the implementation of the U.N. Green Climate Fund’s multibillion-dollar portfolio while navigating the highly political fund through its first replenishment process.

With less than four months left to go, Glemarec and his colleagues are already busy working on aligning replenishment with the broader framework of U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres’ climate summit, which will take place in New York. United States, this September.
