Launch of the Country Platform Hub at COP30: Strengthening Country Leadership for Climate and Development Finance
At COP30, 13 countries and one region announced plans to develop country platforms through the Green Climate Fund (GCF)’s readiness programme. The announcement came during a high-level event co-hosted by Brazil’s Ministry of Finance and the GCF.
Global partners also launched the Country Platform Hub (CP Hub), a new initiative under COP30’s Solutions Acceleration Plan to strengthen country leadership in mobilizing climate and development finance. The CP Hub connects countries to technical assistance, knowledge and finance, ensuring support aligns with national priorities.
The CP Hub builds on partnerships among key global initiatives, including the GCF, the NDC Partnership, the Climate Vulnerable Forum and the V20 Group of Finance Ministers, Finance in Common (FiCS), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global Capacity Building Coalition (GCBC). Coordination will be anchored in ministerial networks such as the COP30 Circle of Finance Ministers, the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action and the CVF–V20.
