- Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic is reportedly caused by a zoonosis, a disease naturally transmissible from animals to humans. 3 Actions to Be Taken to Respond to Crises such as COVID-19 As a partnership, the GEF has responded to the current crisis by appropriately mapping the potential impacts of the pandemic on GEF-financed projects - particularly those in execution - including the impact on project beneficiaries. 3.2 Medium-term Actions In order to ensure that current and future projects and programmes under GEF-7 can integrate the risks and opportunities that have arisen in the months since COVID-19 appeared, the GEF Secretariat will work on a blueprint to guide GEF's actions for the next two years, or the remainder of the GEF-7 cycle, benefitting from the upstream dialogue and initial assessment being conducted with GEF agencies. The GEF has been promoting system change through GEF-6 and GEF-7, but more is needed.
