Current Projects

To accelerate the introduction of electric mobility in Vanuatu to reduce transport emissions and move towards sustainable development of the transport sector.

To accelerate the transformation to sustainable zero emissions land transport sector through introduction of electric mobility in the Solomon Islands.

To get a common understanding of the Amazon Aquifer Systems (AAS) (TDA), the invisible giant, to strengthen existing regional governance, and to develop and endorse an integrated groundwater management approach (SAP) for its protection and sustainable use, thereby enhancing water security and ecosystem resilience in the Amazon region.

In response to outcomes of COP 15 of UNCCD, decisions 9 and 11 of COP15, this project aims to support eligible countries to utilize GEF resources for implementing the Convention and the UNCCD Strategy (2018-2030), which is a comprehensive global commitment to avoid and reduce desertification and land degradation and to restore the productivity of degraded land to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). The project will support Parties to enhance their national-level institutions and technical capacities for effective and timely preparation and submission of the 2026 UNCCD national reports. To achieve this, the project will offer technical support to the UNCCD National Focal Points, equipping them with the technical tools to collect data and submit national reports through the Performance Review and Assessment of Implementation System (PRAIS) reporting tool.

The project aims to support Palau to prepare and submit its First Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) and a combined Second Biennial Transparency Report and Fourth National Communication (BTR2/NC4), which will comply with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Paris Agreement reporting requirements while responding to national development goals.

To assist GEF-Eligible Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to prepare and submit their Fifth National Reports on measures that each party has taken to implement the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
