Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project - Marikina Bikeways Project Component
Promote expanded use of non-motorized transport as an alternative to fossil-fuel burning motorized transport by providing facilities (bike lanes and paths, parking, awareness and safety campains) for bicycle transport in the city of Marikina, Metro Manila.
Methane Capture and Use (Landfill Demonstration Project
The proposed Methane Gas Capture Project would provide support to an existing project on solid waste management (Second Solid Waste Management Project [Ln. 3752-ME]) to enable the internalization of the global dimension of landfill gas capture and use. Specifically, the GEF support would be used to provide the financial and technical assistance required to demonstrate self-sustaining modern waste management of municipal solid waste that includes capture and use of landfill gas.
Wind Power Market Development Initiative
The project will promote the development of the wind energy market in Kazakhstan by removing the existing barriers to and reducing the implementation costs of wind energy projects by: (a) assisting the government to formulate a cross-sectoral national wind energy program; (b) providing information for and building the local capacity to develop wind energy projects and to organize financing for them (including site “mapping” and expansion of the wind speed measurement program); (c) facilitating the construction of the first “demonstration” wind farm to prepare ground for and reduce the risks of
Co-generation of Electricity and Steam Using Sugarcane Bagasse and Trash
This project aims at reducing Cuba’s energy-related CO2-emissions by removing barriers to the substitution of sugarcane bagasse and trash for fuel oil in power and steam co-generation. This will be achieved by demonstrating the technical, economic and financial viability to establish companies in the vicinity of sugar mills to co-generate steam and power by using biomass-fired high-pressure condensing-extraction steam turbine technology.
Enabling China to Prepare Initial National Communication to the UNFCCC
The principal aim of the project is to enable China to comply with her obligations related to Article 4.1, and other relevant commitments, specified in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including submission of her Initial National Communication. The aims of the project are therefore to generate, analyze and communicate information relevant to the preparation and submission of China’s Initial National Communication (particularly in accord with Art. 4.1 and Art.
Development of Mnazi Bay Marine Park
This GEF Project provides the additional funding for the development of a multi-purpose Marine Protected Area around the globally significant marine biodiversity values of the Mnazi Bay and Rovuma River estuary areas in southern Tanzania. This is Tanzania’s second Marine Park. In keeping with Marine Park philosophy in Tanzania, the sustainable use of marine resources by communities, as well as biodiversity conservation, is emphasized. This is designed as 54-month project including an initial participatory planning phase followed by an implementation phase.
Mesoamerican Biological Corridor
The proposed project would promote conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through the establishment of biological corridors in southeastern Mexico (states of Campeche, Chiapas, Qintana Roo, Tabasco, and Yucatan). The corridors will foster the equilibrium of land and coastal ecosystems, within a sustainable development approach. In addition to biodiversity significance, the proposed corridors will be selected to optimize connectivity among protected areas.
Indigenous and Community Biodiversity Conservation (COINBIO)
The overall goal of the project is to achieve more effective biodiversity conservation in the states of Oaxaca, Michoacán and Guerrero by promoting the sustainable protection and use of biodiversity by indigenous communities and ejidos.
Northern Savanna Biodiversity Conservation (NSBC) Project
In Ghana, as elsewhere in Africa, savanna woodlands provide valuable environmental services, are a crucial refuge for native biodiversity, and also protect soil and water resources against degradation. About 70% of Ghana’s total supply of firewood and charcoal, estimated at 16 million m3, comes from savanna zones, which also provide medicinal plants (the primary source of healthcare to residents) roofing grasses, fencing poles, bush meat and fruits. The northern savannas are a source of important farmer crop varieties (cereals, roots/tubers and legumes).
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Medicinal Plants in Arid and Semi-arid Ecosystems
The objective of the project is to conserve globally significant medicinal plant species and associated habitats in St Katherine’s Protectorate as follows: (1) foreclose the use of critically endangered medicinal plant species in hotspots; (2) introduce small-scale community-based cultivation, processing and medicinal plant marketing to relieve pressure from wild sources in orchards and gardens; (3) introduce best practices for wild medicinal plant collection and sustainable collection levels throughout the protectorate; (4) promote alternative energy sources in demonstration areas; (5) disper
