Securing the Environment for Economic Development (SEED)
SEED-Biodiversity will contribute to and catalyze SEED-Tourism initiatives to secure the management and conservation of Critical Species and Habitats (IUCN, 1990) that are of key significance to global biodiversity and to Zambia’s economic development. These initiatives will in turn help to mitigate the root cause of biodiversity loss in Zambia - poverty.
Strengthening the National System of Protected Areas
The objective of the full project is to conserve highly representative assemblages of four of Cuba's terrestrial ecoregions of global importance and classified as highest priority for conservation nationally and regionally. The Cuban archipelago harbors the greatest biological diversity in the Caribbean region. Given its insularities and threats, biodiversity conservation faces serious threats.
Private Sector Led Development of On-Grid Wind Power in Tunisia
FEBRUARY 2001 The objective of the Full Project is to enable Tunisia to increase the use of wind energy by removing the barriers that are currently impeding large-scale adoption of this technology. The objective of the Full Project is to target both large-scale on-grid production of wind energy and small-scale off-grid production units in remote rural settings. (2/8/01) FALL 2003 A project brief was submitted to the GEF on September 2003. The project was significantly upscaled as its structure, scale and scope substantially changed from the original concept.
End Use Energy Efficiency Project
The Chinese government is embarking upon a long-term program to support energy efficiency in the industrial and building sectors. This project supports the first phase (3 years) of that program. The project’s purpose is the removal of barriers to the widespread application and practice of energy conservation and energy efficiency in the major energy consuming sectors (buildings and industrial) in China.
Systems Efficiency Improvement, Equitization and Renewables (SEER) Project - Renewables Components
The project will support a long-term programmatic approach to develop renewable energy according to the country’s Renewable Energy Action Plan. The project supports Phase I of the REAP, building renewable energy awareness, demand, and capacity.
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve and Adjoining Indigenous Lands
The project aims to conserve Amazonian forests in Amarakaeri Reserved Area (157,875 ha) and adjoining titled lands (419,139 ha) of the indigenous through legally established Communal Reserve by promoting Reserved Area, effectively managed by local indigenous communities, and effective alternative livelihood opportunities are developed for indigenous and immigrant resource extractive communities. There are approximately 1,500 indigenous people, and their traditional knowledge and practices for biodiversity conservation will be maintained.
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.
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.
Rural Electrification and Transmission
The overall project objectives are to: Eliminate the policy, institutional, financing and information barriers that impede the market development for renewable energy in Cambodia so that rural people can have increased access to electricity services; and accelerate rural transformation by expanding electricity access by offering: (i) technical assistance and capacity building for key stakeholders, and (ii) investments in renewable energy systems for isolated mini-grids using hydro sources and in off-grid solar and village hydro.
National Protected Areas System
The project’s development objective is to contribute to the improved sustainable and equitable management of Ecuador’s biological diversity by strengthening the effective management and financial sustainability of its National Protected Areas System (NPAS). The global environmental objective is to conserve and sustainably manage globally important forest and freshwater ecosystems in Ecuador, one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world.
