Capacity Building for Observation Systems for Climate Change (Pacific and Africa)
The overall aim of this project is to develop capacity in a significant number of non-Annex I Parties to participate in systematic observation networks to meet the multiple needs of the Convention. The specific short-term objectives are to contribute to the reporting of systematic observation and research needs in the context of non-Annex I National Communications on a voluntary basis and to identify priority capacity-building needs related to participation in systematic observation (e.g., needs for training, equipment, communications, etc).
Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Mataven Forest
The objective of the project is to support the indigenous communities of the Matavén Forest to plan the management and conservation of its biodiversity in a sustainable way, thereby contributing to an improvement in the quality of life and the preservation of their natural and cultural heritage.
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Chiloé Globally Significant Biodiversity
This project will take a bioregional approach to biodiversity conservation, ensuring conservation within the national park, while at the same time demonstrating biodiversity-friendly alternatives in the wider Chiloé landscape. Both approaches will build upon the approach demonstrated through the Chiloé Model Forest. These Model Forests are about community-based partnerships and about people learning to make decisions together.
Integrated Ecosystem Management of Transboundary Areas between Niger and Nigeria Phase I: Strengthening of Legal and Institutional Frameworks for Collaboration and Pilot Demonstrations of IEM
The project will promote holistic approaches to integrated watershed and ecosystem management based on participatory and community-based strategies in the transboundary drylands. In particular, it will promote sustainable use of globally significant biodiversity and the sustainable use of land and water at the watershed level. It will also strengthen and improve the management of existing protected areas. Moreover, the project will develop flexible land and water management strategies adapted to the variable natural conditions.
PRC-GEF Partnership: Land Degradation in Dryland Ecosystems: Project I-Capacity Building to Combat Land Degradation
The overall goal is to reduce land degradation and restore dryland ecosystems in the western region. The specific purpose of the CPF is to assist the Government to establish an effective system of integrated natural resource management.
In Situ/On Farm Conservation and Use of Agricultural Biodiversity (Horticultural Crops and Wild Fruit Species) in Central Asia
The purpose of the project is to provide farmers, institutes and local communities with knowledge, methodology and policies to conserve globally significant in situ/on-farm horticultural crops and wild fruit species in Central Asia. This will contribute to achieving sustainable agricultural development, food security and environmental stability. The project has a particular focus on traditional local varieties of fruit crops maintained by farmers and their wild relatives growing in forests, and on the enhancement of farmers' and community capacities to conserve in situ horticulture diversity.
Assessments of Impacts and Adaptation to Climate Change in Multiple Regions and Sectors (AIACC)
Assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation options for the most vulnerable regions and sectors in developing countries will be targeted through an open process on scientific merit. Forty to fifty individual research activities are planned. The targeted regions and sectors represent gaps in the current assessments. This project will develop capacity to address these gaps through training, technology transfer, and interaction with international assessment teams.
Vilnius Heat Demand Management Project
The proposed project would enable VDHC to compete more effectively in the heating market, supporting the development of heating supply at least cost while improving customer satisfaction. The project would also reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from the Vilnius District Heating System through a targeted effort to remove the existing barriers to energy conservation.
Technology Transfer Networks, Phase 1
The overall goal is to connect key public and private sector stakeholder groups who influence technology transfer within, between and to recipient country markets with the view to foster increased market uptake of sustainable alternatives that help to protect the global environment. The project aims to facilitate identification of environmental synergy and implementation of integrated “win/win” solutions by encouraging thorough assessment of all available options. Major activities to enable fully informed investment, management, and policy decisions will include: 1.
Conservation and Sustainable Management of Dryland Biodiversity, Phase 1
This project aims to promote the conservation of vulnerable, endangered and endemic wild animals, medicinal plants and wild varieties of important crops in the two sanctuaries. It will strengthen the sustainable use and management of silvi-horticulture systems, agrobiodiversity and medicinal plants, inter alia to promote alternative livelihood patterns and reduce resource pressures on the sanctuaries.
