According to ADB website, the Financial Intermediary Loan will finance a pool of green projects sponsored by local governments through ring fenced and special purpose vehicles with mandatory green (e.g. carbon reduction plus land, water, and air pollution indicators) and financial bankability (e.g. financial internal rate of return, debt service coverage ratio) indicators; conditional on PIC leverage ratios; and cross-sector: (i) water and sanitation, including drainage and sponge cities; (ii) urban transport, including electric vehicles and public transport; (iii) waste management, including waste to energy and hazardous waste; (iv) environment, including forestry and land remediation. The program could also support ADB PRC flagship programs, particularly "Yangtze River Economic Belt Framework," "Low Carbon City," and the "Belt and Road" initiative by leveraging sovereign funding.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF GREEN CLIMATE FUND 

The Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) addresses complaints by people who believe they are negatively affected or may be affected by projects or programmes funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The complainant can raise issues related to any of GCF’s policies and procedures, including those relating to social and environmental issues, indigenous peoples, gender, and information disclosure, among others. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may seek to address the issues raised by facilitating problem solving or conducting a compliance process. You can learn more about the Independent Redress Mechanism and how to file a complaint at https://irm.greenclimate.fund/.
