The GEF is an international partnership of 183 countries, international institutions, civil society organizations and the private sector that addresses global environmental issues.
Focal Areas Leveraging environmental expertise for lasting change UNEP works across all Global Environment Facility focal areas, with project portfolios in Biodiversity, Chemicals & Waste, Climate Change Adaptation, Climate Change Mitigation, Cross-cutting Capacity Development, International Waters and Land Degradation. Each focal area is supported by our programmes in complementary areas and backed by our team of over 1,000 in-house experts, who work with a worldwide network of partners to build the public momentum and institutional foundations for change, while developing, testing and sharing innovative, data-driven solutions to environmental challenges. As a science-based organisation with over 50 years’ experience leading the global environmental agenda, UNEP combines cutting-edge environmental research capacity with deep expertise in policy development, institutional strengthening and advocacy, and the unique convening power of the United Nations to design and deliver high-impact projects that enable lasting change. Our portfolio of over 300 GEF-supported projects includes a range of GEF Global Flagship initiatives, such as:
