Since 1999, the GEF has actively worked to fill the gap in its GEF International Waters Focal Area and project portfolio relating to groundwater and aquifers.
The GEF Global Groundwater Community of Practice (CoP), coordinated and facilitated by UNESCO-IHP, will be launched during the conference.
It was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO and UNDP.
The African Development Bank has also become an implementing partner for the Adaptation Fund, and has considerably expanded work under the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) focal area targets transboundary water systems, such as shared river basins, lakes, groundwater and large marine ecosystems.
Adaptation to Climate Change in Coastal Zones of West Africa (ACCC) is a project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by UNESCO and UNDP.
The Regional Project is being carried out in 13 GEF-eligible countries (Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Montenegro, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority).
Co-published by UNESCO and UNU, the volume is the product of an inter-agency partnership that also includes the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the UNDP GEF Small Grants Programme.
This anniversary is an opportunity to take stock of the results and impacts of the GEF International waters portfolio after 20 years and assess future challenges to raise the bar for the next 20 years.
From 1998 to 2001, funds from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) were used to allot grants to villagers for ecological forest management and to compensate them for the loss of the right to exploit the forest.
The UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) together with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) has initiated a new Project on "Groundwater Governance" financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
Within this context, UNESCO has assisted the GEF in the formulation of a conceptual framework for strategic action on groundwater and transboundary aquifers, and in the establishment of a portfolio of groundwater projects addressing key global resources and issues.
Over three-years, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) and the World Bank are working closely with Member States to, though their best practices, jointly understand the complex nexus between science and governance in the management of groundwater resources.
Hosted by the Collaborative Partnerships on Forests (which includes CBD, FAO, IUCN, UNDP, UNEP, GEF, WB and more), Forest Day is a platform for anyone interested in forests and climate change to gather and to ensure that forests are high on the agenda of global and national climate strategies, and that those strategies are informed by the most up-to-date knowledge and experience.
