This project would reduce the GHG emissions from urban stoves by 25% and fuelwood consumption/forest loss in Bogd Khan Reserve reduction by; (i) training 100 engineers for modification, installation and troubleshooting; and (ii) provide cost-effective knowledge as to the advantages of upgrading current stove to the urban dwellers.

Project will reduce land degredation and conserve globally significant biodiversity resources in the Sarstoon Temash National Park (STNP) and its buffer zones.

The Yunnan provincial government has initiated an environmental restoration program to restore upland ecosystems along the Mekong (Lancang) Rivier in the Wuliang mountain range (the proposed site for this project). The project would aim to: a) establish a political organizational framework for a response to biodiversity loss in upland ecosystems; b) develop a participatory scheme for ecosystem management; c) utilize tested tools to for environmental data analysis leading to models and guidelines for collective action to preserve critical biological resources.

The EA will: (1) Assess Mongolia's capacity building needs for implementation of the Biodiversity Convention; (2) prepare a strategy for meeting capacity-building needs; (3) develop an action plan to achieve the strategy; and (4) prepare Mongolia's second national report to the Convention.

The project's objective is to build capacity in existing cleaner production institutions to apply the UNIDO test procedure. The project will demonstrate ways to reduce pollution while remaining financially viable. The project includes the transfer of this technology to 20 pilot enterprises that are contributing to transboundary pollution, primarily nuterients, in the Danube River basin and Black Sea.

This project aims at the expansion of the protected areas in the Cerrado Region in order to enhance biodiversity conservation, through the implementation of Private Natural Heritage Reserves, involving private owners and NGOs in the area. Project sites are located near the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park and Grande Sertão Veredas National Park. This project aims at the expansion of the protected areas in the Cerrado Region in order to enhance biodiversity conservation.
