Mafalda Duarte is the executive director of the Green Climate Fund,[1] the largest multilateral climate fund in the world.[2] Duarte previously worked at the African Development Bank and World Bank,[3] and has served as CEO of the Climate Investment Funds, managing a portfolio of investments for over 70 countries.[1] She was considered one of the "100 Most Influential Climate Leaders in Business for 2023" by TIME magazine[4][5] and as the third most powerful woman in business in Portugal in 2023 by Forbes Portugal.[6]

Duarte emphasizes the need for funders to be proactive and work collectively to ensure that poorer countries which have little administrative capacity still get access to aid.[7][8][9] She emphasizes the importance of investing in developing nations and including women in decision-making.[10][11]
