GFN India Structure and Governance
GFN India will represent a transformative opportunity to enhance the capacity of financial institutions, foster collaboration, facilitate project preparation, and contribute to long-term shifts in domestic and regional investment flows. Over time, through a phased approach, the GFN will evolve into a self-sustaining regional mechanism that serves financial institutions, aligns with public policy priorities, and contributes meaningfully to climate goals in the built environment.
2025–2028 | Currently Active:
✅ Engage financial institutions through country-level Green Finance Networks (GFNs).
✅ Deliver capacity building and training on low-carbon buildings (LCB).
✅ Connect members to the ALCBT project pipeline and opportunities.
✅ Develop a long-term roadmap for GFN India
GFN India will be operationalized by GGGI throughout the ALCBT project duration (until August 2028), with a transition to an independent governance structure thereafter, to be defined in due course.
The governance structure is industry-driven and aligned with regional objectives, bringing together a diverse network of stakeholders across all five countries. The platform is structured around the following components:
Members
A multi-stakeholder group of financial institutions, developers, policymakers, and industry experts contributing to the development and scaling of low-carbon building finance.
Thematic Working Groups
Focused groups formed based on members’ expertise and interests, supporting collaboration on key topics such as financing instruments, project preparation, and market development.
