Increasing the Efficiency of the Hydrocarbon Sector by Using Waste Gas
The main global environment objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate at a pilot stage the capacity of the Syrian Arab Republic to meet GHG reduction commitments. That is, a global environmental issue will be integrated with local decision-making processes and policy development and implementation. Although any reduction in emissions due to the project’s direct efficiency gains may be small, the potential benefits of integrated, informed policy and regulatory development are very great.
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in the Llanos Ecoregion
The main objective of this project is to contribute to the protection and conservation of the biodiversity of the ecoregion of Los Llanos of Venezuela. FUDENA will develop a set of comprehensive management strategies, an action plan, for conservation of biodiversity in the ecoregion developed through biological and socioeconomic assessments, partnerships with the private sector, and community participation and will implement pilot projects that initiate an evaluation of potential conservation strategies.
Redirecting Commercial Investment Decisions to Cleaner Technologies – A Technology Transfer Clearinghouse
The project objective is to direct pending private sector investment decisions towards EE/RET alternatives with a global environmental benefit so that cleaner technologies are chosen when they have good commercial viability. This will be achieved by providing finance and know-how for customized appraisals of alternative technology options. By financing alternative appraisals the project will bridge information and awareness gaps that exist between private sector borrowers, their lenders, and energy technology providers.
Sustainable Protected Area Development in Namaqualand
The first major objective is to plan, and acquire land and develop a system of protected areas that is representative of Namaqualand’s biodiversity. The second objective is to strengthen these conservation initiatives by creating opportunities for local communities to benefit from these protected areas. The third objective is to assess the economic value of conservation in comparison to alternative, often competing forms of land use and to use the results of the analysis as a means of influencing policy on land use.
Wetland Priorities for Conservation Action
This GEF medium-size project will build upon the experience gained from the pilot phase to expand the identification, characterization, and prioritization to a national level, facilitating the establishment of regional workgroups that will act according to local realities and with the support of the generated information. The project will also promote the importance of wetlands among environmental and decision-making groups.
Conservation and Management of Habitats and Species, and Sustainable Community Use of Biodiversity in Dinder National Park
The project aims at the preservation of biodiversity in the Dinder National Park by encouraging species conservation and the sustainable use of resources through the integration of local communities in the utilization and management of the natural resources of the park. In addition the project aims at maintaining the park as a coherent eco-system which will act as a perpetual reservoir of gene pool and species diversity in an area where nature conservation is threatened by large scale development schemes, various sources of resource misuse, drought and land degradation.
Renewable Energy Hybrid Power Systems
This project is intended to set up a commercial Rural Energy Service Company (ESCO) that charges a fee for the electricity supplied to the consumers as a sustainable institutional framework to operate the renewable energy system in Nabouwalu, for replication in other parts of Fiji. The commercial operation of the renewable-energy-based Rural ESCO is expected to reduce the operation and maintenance costs, mobilize more funding for rural electrification, thereby promoting widespread utilization of renewable energy in Fiji.
Low-Cost/Low-Energy Buildings in the Czech Republic
The project is to help overcome barriers preventing the widespread use of low cost/low energy technologies in the Czech residential housing sector. These are lack of experience in designing and constructing low cost/low energy buildings, and limited access to commercial sources of financing for relevant investments. The project will also help develop advanced energy standards for residential buildings and facilitate their adoption by the Czech government.
Efficient Street Lighting Program
The project will assist Argentina in removing key barriers to energy conservation in the street lighting sector. These barriers to energy conservation in the street lighting sector. These barriers include lack of information about viable energy saving opportunities in street lighting, access to commercial sources of financing, and increased transaction costs for initial installations. More specifically, the project will enable the development, structuring and financing of viable model transactions that demonstrate innovative mechanisms to overcoming identified market barriers.
Emergency Response Measure to Combat Fires in Indonesia and to Prevent Regional Haze in South East Asia
The project will assist Indonesia and its neighboring countries in coordinating their regional efforts to mitigate the short-term impacts of forest fires. It aims to develop a national and regional strategy and adopt appropriate concrete measures to combat forest fires, including the establishment of an early warning system, building on existing capacities.
