Secretary Borje said it is important to support practical, pragmatic and easy to monitor projects that can be easily scaled up to ensure success and gain wide public support for green development projects.

It was established by 194 governments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in developing countries, and to help vulnerable societies adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
