- Abstract
4.2 LDCF/SCCF Work Programme The GEF Council Members, convening as the 27 SP th sp meeting of the LDCF/SCCF Council, adopted an LDCF Work Program calling for a total of US$ 59.95 million for nine projects to address urgent and immediate climate change adaptation priorities. The Secretariat highlighted that the Work Program is expected to largely fulfil GEF-7 targets on marine protected areas and land restoration, and make a substantial contribution towards GEF-7 targets on emissions of greenhouse gases and POPs. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is one of the most significant and reliable financial mechanisms for a number of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD); the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs); the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification; and the Minamata Convention on Mercury. The decision also requested the GEF Secretariat to consolidate GEF Partner Agency reports as a decision for submission to the Council at its meeting in December 2020; and to review the GEF Minimum Fiduciary Standards, as needed.
