67th GEF Council meeting: Momentum for people and the planet

The 67th meeting of the GEF Council, the 36th meeting of the Least Developed Countries Fund/Special Climate Change Fund (LDCF/SCCF) Council, and the 2nd meeting of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF) Council concluded their deliberations on a heavy agenda. The closing sessions for each Council meeting confirmed the decisions taken throughout the four days of meetings.

Key decisions taken by the Councils included the first ever work program for the newly established GBFF, which includes three projects for a total of $37.82 million. The largest ever LDCF work program, in the amount of $203 million, includes projects and programs across 20 countries. The LDCF program proposals will support a global program focused on adaptation innovation and a multi-trust fund program for the Great Green Wall Initiative. The work program adopted for the GEF Trust Fund consists of 25 projects and programs amounting to $495.6 million. With this agreement, 59% of the entire GEF-8 envelope has been programmed halfway into the replenishment period.
