Why the IRM Matters: Addressing Project Concerns to Strengthen Climate Action at GCF

The Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) is an independent, impartial avenue for people affected by GCF‑funded projects to raise complaints and seek redress. Beyond resolving complaints, the IRM identifies systemic issues, advises on policy improvements, and helps ensure GCF remains accountable, transparent, and effective.
