Abstract
<jats:p>Climate change presents a systemic challenge that transcends national boundaries and requires coordinated global financial mechanisms. Existing climate finance institutions, including the Global Environment Facility and the Green Climate Fund, remain constrained by their reliance on voluntary, politically contingent contributions. This dependence undermines financial predictability, limits long-term investment planning, and reduces their capacity to drive structural decarbonization. Building on historical developments in climate science, carbon cycle modeling, and international policy frameworks, this study critically evaluates the institutional weaknesses of current mechanisms and identifies the post-Kyoto gap in global climate finance. In response, it proposes the establishment of a Global Anti-Carbon Fund, designed to mobilize stable and predictable resources through a universal anti-carbon tax and to allocate funds based on verifiable emission reductions. The Fund’s architecture integrates the principles of fiscal responsibility (“polluter pays”) and performance-based incentives (“decarbonization is rewarded”), while functioning as a coordinating apex institution within the broader climate finance landscape. By linking financial obligations directly to emissions and rewarding systemic transformation, the Global Anti-Carbon Fund represents a structural innovation capable of aligning economic development pathways with planetary climate constraints. This framework offers a durable institutional foundation for the practical implementation of international climate commitments and the acceleration of the global low-carbon transition.</jats:p>
