In a global effort to allocate critical funds to tackle the root causes of the climate and nature crisis, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) has approved US$204.3 million for UNDP’s support of 121 countries in project focused efforts, leveraging an additional US$1.9 billion in co-financing to safeguard people and the planet.
Together, these activities will jointly benefit more than 9.4 million people, including 4.8 million women. The funding aims to scale up efforts to drive a nature-positive and climate-resilient future, restoring thousands of hectares of land with a further three million hectares – roughly the size of Belgium – set to benefit through improved stewardship.
