Even projects like those of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which have a “do good” mandate, can end up having unintended negative impacts. For this reason, institutions like the GCF have put in place safeguards to prevent such harm, and the Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) is one of the units tasked with holding the GCF to account. Since our last newsletter in July, the IRM has continued to raise awareness about its work among potential complainants and requesters, civil society, the public, and GCF staff. The IRM has also strengthened the capacity of grievance mechanisms that are operated by the GCF’s accredited entities and progressed its case work. The IRM’s Work Plan and Budget for 2020 was approved last week at the 24th Meeting of the GCF Board, and the IRM looks forward to an exciting year ahead!
The IRM welcomes Paco Gimenez-Salinas as its new Compliance and Dispute Resolution Specialist. A lawyer by profession, Paco has extensive experience in mediation and will lead the IRM’s problem solving work.
