About
The Greening Financial Systems Fund (GFS Fund) supports climate action and helps to build a conducive environment for green investments. Its purpose is to provide advisory services to central banks, supervisors and financial institutions to build climate-resilient financial systems around the world, as part of the EIB’s Greening Financial Systems technical assistance Programme.
The GFS Fund was established as a stand-alone fund at the end of 2025, after initially being managed as a dedicated envelope under the International Climate Initiative (IKI) Fund.
