Barrier Removal for Cross Sectoral Energy Efficiency
The goal of this project is to reduce GHG emissions in Lebanon by improving demand side energy efficiency through the creation of a multi-purpose Lebanese Centre for Energy Conservation and Planning. The Centre, which is expected to be a “soft” and flexible institutional set-up, will simultaneously undertake barrier removal activities and provide energy efficiency services to the public and private sector industries as a set in becoming an independent, commercially viable private corporation.
Second Beijing Environment Project
The project’s objectives are to: (a) improve the quality of life for the citizens of Beijing by alleviating the city’s acute air and water pollution problems; and (b) significantly reduce China’s GHG emissions. It has three components: energy conversion and efficiency; wastewater treatment; and environment capacity-building. GEF assistance is requested to remove the barriers to successful implementation of the project’s two major energy components.
Experimental Validation of Building Codes and Removal of Barriers to Their Adoption
Tunisia’s Agency for Energy Management (AME) has estimated that total energy consumption in Tunisia will increase from 4.3 Mtoe in 1996 to 14.2 Mtoe in 2020. Due to a shift in sectorial demand, the service and residential sectors will together represent the largest energy consumer by 2020, the main source of increased energy demand being the building sector. The Government of Tunisia has therefore decided to adopt regulatory measures introducing energy efficient building standards for new buildings.
Enabling Activity for the Preparation of India's Initial Communication to the UNFCCC
The project will assist India in undertaking the enabling activities to prepare initial national communication to the Conference of Parties in accordance with UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and to build capacity to fulfil its commitments to the Convention on a continuing basis.
Samar Island Biodiversity Project: Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Biodiversity of a Forested Protected Area
Samar island - the third largest island in the Philippine archipelago—contains some of the Philippines’ largest extant, unfragmented tracts of lowland rainforest. Although these forests are widely recognized to be an important repository of biodiversity, civil disorder problems in Samar have, until recently, hampered conservation management. Civil order has now been restored, providing a historic window of opportunity to expand the conservation estate.
Regionally-Based Assessment of Persistent Toxic Substances
The overall objective of the project is to deliver a comprehensive regionally based assessment of the damage and threats posed by persistent toxic substances, and to evaluate and agree the priorities between chemical related environmental issues at the regional level in order to focus subsequent interventions on the most important and pressing issues.
Transhumance for Biodiversity Conservation in the Southern High Atlas
The project will conserve globally significant biodiversity in the southern flank of the High Atlas through an adaptive management scheme integrating pastoral range management with biodiversity conservation in a grazing-dependent ecosystem. Simultaneous global and local benefits are expected, which would ensure both a demonstration effect and a self-sustaining local process after project completion.
Barrier Removal to Renewable Energy Programme
The project will help to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by addressing institutional, information, know-how, perceived risk and other investment barriers to increased use of photovoltaic energy sources by households, institutions, commercial entities and agro industries. Specifically the project will: Assist local stakeholders in building local capacities to promote, install and service PV applications; help to develop and implement favorable regulatory frameworks, facilitate the establishment of viable financial mechanisms (micro lending).
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Tropical Peat Swamp Forests and Associated Wetland Ecosystems
The project’s goal is to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of globally significant biodiversity within Malaysia’s PSF areas through the pursuit of three objectives, namely demonstration of inter-sectoral planning, application of these plans, and institutional strengthening. The global biodiversity values found in Malaysia’s tropical PSF ecosystems are exemplified by the three sites selected for the present project, each of which represents a distinct PSF ecosystem complex in Malaysia.
Energy Conservation and GHG Emission Reduction in Chinese Township and Village Enterprises (TVE), Phase II
This project will focus on Township-Village Enterprises (TVEs) which constitute a significant share of Chinese economic production. It seeks to reduce GHG emissions in China from the TVE sector by increasing the utilization of energy efficient technologies and products in the brick, cement, metal casting and coking sectors. The project removes key market, regulatory, technological, management and commercial barriers to the production, marketing and utilization of energy efficient technologies and products in these industries.
