The objective of the project is to protect and manage for sustainable use, globally significant wetland biodiversity in a threatened ecoregion of Argentina, with full participation of local stakeholders.

Over two billion citizens on this planet do not have access to electricity. This project will develop innovative strategies that will lead to employment opportunities for youth while providing renewable energy to their local communities. The project will develop a knowledge base of good practices, and business plans for promoting renewable energies through a community and business development model. The project objectives focus on promoting the use of renewable energy in off-grid rural communities, while simultaneously developing increased employment opportunities for youth.

Project rationale and objectives: (i) Reduce Hungary's emissions of greenhouse gases (short-term measure) by improving energy efficiency for end-user applications(ii) Create local capacity to fund further energy efficiency projects and applications. (iii) Encourage the replication of the project elsewhere and raise public awareness about energy efficiency, as part of the country's climate change response strategy

The goal of the project is to plan implement a sustainable development of the coast of the Gulf of West Korea, with a focus on globally significant biodiversity, human health and quality of life, thus securing a balance between protection of natural resources and environmentally-sound development. It will operate at three levels: (a) at the provincial and national level, planning processes will be enhanced through capacity building, increased public involvement and the development of broad-based planning processes for South Pyongan Province.

a) To create a commercial wood pellet market in the region by constructing a Central Processing Unit (CPU) for pellet production from wood waste. b) To provide a replicable, economically viable, and environmentally friendly source of heat in 44 schools and public buildings by replacing existing coal/coke boilers with pellet-fired boilers. c) To replicate the project in neighboring municipalities and in at least one other region of Slovakia.

The project's objective aims at supporting Chinese Government's plans and programmes to set up protected areas with an integrated and landscape approach and with participation from local communities and various stakeholders, so as to secure the wild relatives of soybean, wheat, and rice, including their natural habitats. In this regard, the project is to bring about best international practices to China for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use.

In accordance with the GEF Operational Guidelines for Expedited Financing of Climate Change Enabling Activities, the Government of Chile hereby requests additional interim funds in the amount of US$100,000 to conduct new enabling activities in follow-up to those activities conducted under the country’s Enabling Activity Project (Phase I). These interim funds are requested to undertake an assessment of technology transfer needs and to build capacity for assessing technology needs and modalities to acquire and absorb them in the country.

The GEF Project Objective is the conservation of the biodiversity and the landscape within the Central Zagros Landscape Conservation Zone. In order to achieve this Objective, the project will stimulate changes in village-level practices, at the provincial level, and in national agencies. Hence, Project Outcomes and Activities focus into these three levels.
