The project will contribute to the development of policies and measures that will assist in a long-term modal shift from small inefficient vehicles to climate friendly, more efficient and less polluting, less carbon-intensive forms of transport in Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA).

This project seeks to achieve the long-term conservation and sustainable use of India’s medicinal plant diversity, particularly of its globally significant species. The project will do this by mainstreaming conservation and sustainable use objectives into forest management policy and practice at the national, state and local level in three Indian states: Arunachal Pradesh in North-East India, Chattisgarh in Central India and Uttaranchal in North-west India.

The project will (a) accelerate, in a commercially viable manner, the use of electricity for economic growth and improved quality of life in underserved areas; and (b) strengthen Mozambican capacity to expand the energy sector for both domestic and export markets. Phase I has three components: (i) Grid electrification and power sector reforms; (ii) Renewable energy promotion; and, (iii) Institutional strengthening and capacity building.

The key objective of this project is to address the main cause of transboundary pollution in the Danube River and Black Sea by reducing the discharge of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) through integrated land and water management. The project would assist tha Government of Romania in its efforts to promote the adoption of environmentally friendly agricultural practices and to restore part of the former floodplain areas along the lower Danube, thus reducing discharge of nutrients and improve water quality in the Danube and Black Sea.

The overall objective of the proposed project is the sustained conservation of Kamchatka’s salmonid genetic and life history diversity and the maintenance of river ecosystem integrity. Upon completion of the project, Government agencies and local communities and indigenous peoples will be conserving salmonid diversity in the project’s four river sites by applying a new diversity-oriented approach, conservation tools, and sustainable livelihoods.

The project will reduce coalbed methane emissions in the Kuznetsk, coal basin. The project will provide technical assistance component to build the capacity of the local stakeholders to develop and implement projects of this type.

( This review sheet should builds on action already taken by the review of 3.27.2000 and subsequent bilateral meeting). This project will develop and implement integrated ecosystem management strategies in the Russian Arctic in two to three model areas, and strengthen the capacity of federal and regional/local authorities, indigenous people and other stakeholders in sustainable biodiversity management.

The project will focus on pre-investment studies of identified priority hot spots with known significant transboundary consequences. Additional activities will include the necessary support in the development of legal, policy, institutional and economic mechanisms and instruments required to strengthen protection of the marine environment from anthropogenic activities.

The proposed project is aimed at improving the conservation of biodiversity in the Greater Addo National Park. The project would specifically support activities to: (a) identify and protect areas of unique biodiversity inder threat; (b) identify the minimum area required to maintain ecological patterns and processes; (c ) reduce critical threats facing the park; (d) develop and implement a conservation plan; (e) promote sustainable ecotourism; and (f) promote capacity building in local communities to develop environmntally acceptable economic activities.
