Global Environment Facility

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a pioneering international partnership dedicated to addressing pressing environmental issues worldwide. Established to support ecosystem preservation and sustainable development, GEF focuses on critical areas such as biodiversity, climate change mitigation and adaptation, chemicals and waste management, and sustainable urban development. With a robust funding mechanism, GEF plays a vital role in facilitating projects across diverse ecosystems, including forests, oceans, and freshwater sources.

Through collaborative efforts with countries, civil society organizations, and the private sector, GEF empowers stakeholders to implement projects that significantly contribute to global environmental sustainability. Their initiatives include financing for the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund, climate adaptation strategies for least developed countries, and support for combating illegal wildlife trade. Additionally, GEF emphasizes stakeholder engagement, ensuring that diverse voices, including indigenous peoples and youth, are integral to environmental decision-making processes. As a leader in global environmental stewardship, GEF strives to transform communities and ecosystems for a sustainable future.
