Green Climate Fund Indigenous Peoples Advisory Group 2027–2030: Call for Nominations for Indigenous Peoples Representatives
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) invites nominations for its Indigenous Peoples Advisory Group (IPAG) for the 2027–2030 term. The call seeks Indigenous Peoples' representatives to fill one vacancy in each of four regions: Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific.
Overview
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has launched a call for nominations for its Indigenous Peoples Advisory Group (IPAG) for the 2027–2030 term. This initiative aims to strengthen coordination, dialogue, and engagement between Indigenous Peoples, the GCF, and its partners on climate action and climate finance. The advisory group connects Indigenous perspectives with the fund's work across developing regions.
For the upcoming term, there are four regional vacancies, with one position available in each of the following regions: Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific. IPAG members engage in ongoing activities, which include two in-person meetings each year and monthly online meetings.
Eligibility
- Nominee Role: Must be an Indigenous Peoples’ representative from a developing State where the GCF may fund activities.
- Nomination Source: Nominations must come through relevant Indigenous Peoples’ institutions, bodies, organizations, networks, or regional caucuses rather than as independent individual applications.
- Language Proficiency: Nominees must be able to work and participate within an English-speaking environment, as English is the working language of the GCF.
- Experience: Nominees should demonstrate experience and contributions in areas such as Indigenous Peoples’ issues, climate action, environmental matters, sustainable development, and community-level initiatives.
