The core objective of the Project is to move - under a commercial and sustainable solution - a significant part of the population with no or unreliable access to electricity away from the polluting fuel-based lighting to the less polluting and higher quality modern lighting sources, thus reducing CO2 emissions, increasing household productivity and fostering economic and social development.

The project development objective of the proposed project is to improve the energy efficiency of medium and large-sized industrial enterprises, and to reduce their impact of climate change.

to reduce coal consumption and GHG emission per unit of electricity production in Shanxi Province, Shandong Province and Guangdong Province in China.

The project addresses the key root cause of transport un-sustainability: a dysfunctional transport pricing structure which de facto subsidizes private motor vehicle use by undervaluing scarce public space.

To implement effective, operable, transparent and sustainable National Biosafety Frameworks (NBF) which cater for national and regional needs, deliver global benefits and are compliant with the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB) in 12 Caribbean countries

The proposed project's central development objective is to develop and test a collaborative framework to manage protected areas in Indonesia and protect key biodiversity areas and ecosystem services in North Maluku. The new approach would be tested in ALNP in Halmahera Island, North Maluku, and if deemed successful, its pilot interventions would be adopted elsewhere in the country.

The project is set in the framework of a proposed WB loan in support of Romania's effort to implement the EU's Environment "acquis". The global environment objective of a program wide GEF grant would be to integrate regional and global priorities into the longer term national systems being established for biodiversity conservation, nitrates management; and chemicals and legacy pollution mitigation, management and control.

As part of the Strategic Partnership Investment Fund to reduce land-based pollution to the Large Marine Ecosystems of East Asia, the project supports pollution reduction from sewage and pollution reduction from landfill remediation as a result of investments, capacity development and regulatory reform.

Develop national capacity in Vietnam to manage all PCBs and on a pilot basis in selected provinces safely store significant amounts of PCBs in anticipation of future disposal.

Critical coastal and marine biodiversity conserved and supported by sustainable land management in linked upland areas. This would be achieved by removing the barriers to mainstreaming marine and coastal biodiversity conservation; through co-management of critical marine habitats; and by the introduction of sustainable land management practices.
