The Project Objective is to address and contain the rapid environmental degradation in the upper watershed of the Southern part of Haiti through the integration of sustainable land and forest management practices at the watershed level. In Addition, the project seeks to support forest restoration and implementation of a carbon stock and sequestration monitoring system to enhance the understanding of impacts by changes in land use systems and vegetation/forest cover on carbon sequestration and emissions avoided.

The Project’s General Objective is to promote adaptation measures necessary to protect coastal wetlands and international waters of the Rio La Plata Estuary from the impacts of climate change, through the sustainable use of coastal resources, one of the main environmental assets of the country.

The project goal was set as: the establishment of an enabling integrated institutional framework to enhance global environmental management in The Gambia, with the specific objectives of: (i) Strengthening the national institutional framework for integrated management of global environmental priorities. (ii) Integrating global environmental issues into divisional level planning and implementation through the application of ecosystem approach.

The pilot project aims to develop a conservation and management framework for biologically- globally significant and commercially-important areas beyond national jurisdiction in the Western Indian Ocean, focusing on seamounts and shallow banks. Due to their typically high biological productivity and diversity, seamounts around the world have long been the target of commercial fisheries. Fishing activities can impact both target and by-catch species of corals, fish and crustaceans and impact the benthic communities of seamounts.

The overall objective of the proposed Enabling Activities (EA) project is to strengthen the national capacity and capability of Eritrea to prepare a National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the management of POPs. This plan will provide a basic and essential level of information to enable policy and strategic decisions to be made and identify priority activities that the country should undertake in order to meet the requirements of the Stockholm Convention.

The proposed project aims at establishing the basic conditions to facilitate the wide-spread market introduction of grid-connected photovoltaic systems in Mexico, with the two fold purpose of: a) reducing or softening the peak electrical demand in regions with high peak-to-base ratio of electric power demand, resulting from the intensive use of cooling and air conditioning equipment; and b) supporting the grid where the peak supply capacity is limited.

To promote the integration of biomass-based power generators into the national electricity grid by the development and implementation of scenarios for the sustainable, large-scale exploitation of domestic forestry biomass resources.

The SGP, with its focus on supporting local communities to build capacity and initiate new actions for co-managing their natural resources, exemplifies the implementation of GEF’s strategic priorities such as sustainable use activities both within protected areas and their buffer zones; conservation in productive landscapes and seascapes; productive uses of renewable energy; innovative demonstrations and capacity building foundational work in international waters; implementation of innovative and indigenous sustainable land management practices, and targeted capacity building and demonstration

The development objective is to increase significantly the use of environmentally friendly agricultural practices by farmers in Croatia’s Pannonian plain in order to reduce nutrient discharge from agricultural sources to the Danube River and Black Sea. Black Sea Environmental Program (BSEP) studies reveal that 58% of the total dissolved nitrogen and 66% of the total dissolved phosphorous flowing into the Black Sea come from the Danube river basin.

The proposed project envisages adoption of technology for high pressure copper die casting technology (also known as CMR Technology), most suitable for manufacture of motors of high efficiency motors, to India and other Asian countries.
