The Global Climate Finance is one of the best leading climate change focused magazine, publishing cutting-edge, authoritative thinking on the key issues facing the C-level executives, investors, and stakeholders.

GCF’s articles cover a wide range of topics that are relevant to every major industries, and management regardless of their geographical locations.

While the topics may sometimes vary, all GCF articles share the same characteristics because they are written for senior managers by experts whose authority comes from careful analysis, study, and experience. The ideas presented in these articles can be translated into action and have been tested in the real world of business.

Articles demonstrating fresh new thinking that advances previous knowledge whose practical application has been thought through in clear, jargon-free language are those most likely to meet our readers’ needs.

When evaluating an article, opt-in opinions or an idea, our editors often look for two things:

1. How compelling is the insight? and,
2. How much can it benefit managers in practice?

GCF requires that authors write a one-to-two page (500 – 800 word with copy righted and license free images, photographs, and diagrams) narrative outline laying out the structure of the article and describing each important point in a separate paragraph by illustrating their points with real-world examples.

Some of the questions our editors ask themselves when evaluating your article are:

1. Is this a new idea? If not, does it offer a new and useful perspective on an existing idea?
2. What is it based on? What are its antecedents?
3. Did it persuade me?
4. Could it be put into practice?
5. Where are the holes in the thinking?
6. Did I find it interesting? Would GCF readers find it interesting?
7. Does it address an issue that matters to managers?
8. Is the author trying to sell the reader something, and would the reader need to consult the author?
9. Are there good illustrations used to illustrate a multitude of other models, or other points of view?

Each issue of GCF magazine contains feature rich articles with an in-depth rigorous presentation in making the case for climate change financing and its application in the real world of business.

The articles can be about 500 – 650 words with copy righted and license free images, photos, and diagrams that represents a thought-provoking, often surprising new thinking in moving the climate change debate even further.

These articles help managers, investors, and stakeholders establish an intellectual agenda for discussion and change within their companies, and for the most part, it can help a CEO just at the crucial moment of making a decision for his or her company which is why these articles forms a peer forum for CEOs to share experiences learned the hard way.

The GCF Case Study can be a fictional account of a business dilemma with advice from several experts suggesting how to solve that dilemma.

The GCF Interviews are short interviews with or without a video of leading figures from the World’s top-sustainability experts about his or her career, focusing on decisions, challenges, and experiences that resonate to other managers in the climate change arena.

GCF prefer that articles should be punctilious about giving credit to all direct quotations, paraphrased statements, and borrowed ideas, and to improve the flow of the prose, we prefer to incorporate attributions into the text whenever we can.

Please be aware that our editors will know exactly which ideas, and what language, are yours and which ones are drawn from someone else. For example, if your submission is accepted for publication, we will work with you to determine which sources need to be cited and in what way.

In addition, please tell us about any financial relationship you may have with companies cited in the proposed article. We need to know if you have a consulting relationship, for example, or if you serve on a board of directors.

Nearly all GCF articles undergo extensive editing and rewriting, and GCF typically holds copyright on the finished product. Authors continue to own the underlying ideas in the article.

Please, kindly send your proposed article to our mailing address at:- Global Climate Finance, 372 Old Street, Suite 132, London, EC1V 9AU

If you think your idea is better suited for a commentary on articles posted on our website/s, please, read our website Terms of Use, and the commentary guidelines for posting a comment and/or any other instructions you see there.

GCF deeply appreciates the time and energy required to prepare and write an article for our publication, and we are grateful to you for that investment. We are always looking for new sources of solid, useful and practical ideas that can improve the lives of people and create jobs.

We do not pay for articles or internship work, and all contributors are regarded as volunteers.

Finally, because of the volume of submissions we receive, we are not able to respond substantively to everyone, but we do read them all closely, and we will do our best to respond within a reasonable time. We thank you again for your interest.

The Editors
