Relevant funding priorities: The fund offers financing directed at financial institutions, companies, and producers for promotion of business practices that protect the environment. There are two eligibility mechanisms to determine how the financing provided can be used: (1) The Green List – A list of good practices and investment guidelines that allows producers and companies to contribute to environmental conservation by promoting the use of natural resources, while adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change. (2) Sustainable Certifications. That is, producers and companies that have at least one of the sustainability certi cations approved by the eco.business Fund are eligible, given their environmental, social, and good governance commitments, e.g. MSC (Certified Sustainable Seafood)

Relevant funding priorities: In the context of improving natural resource governance frameworks, the Foundation supports: community leadership and building networks; strengthening positive narratives; and mobilizing resources.

Relevant funding priorities: Oceans. With 27% of the total investments in scientific research already made by the Foundation aimed to oceans, support this movement was natural to the institution. In 2019 the Foundation held the Ocean Connection, the first meeting focused on Communication on the Decade of the Oceans in Brazil, together with UNESCO, the Museu do Amanhã and other partners.

Relevant funding priorities: clean energy, energy efficiency, waste and water, sustainable food and agriculture. Link to 2019 impact report: https://gefcapital.com/capital-partners/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Impact-Report-GEF-Latam-2019_port.pdf

Relevant funding priorities: GEF’s Key Strategic priorities for the current cycle include – Addressing drivers for environmental degradation – Delivering integrated solutions – Enhancing resilience and adaptation The GEF-7 International Waters strategy supports Blue Economy objectives through funding of collective management of coastal and marine systems and implementation of the full range of integrated ocean policies, and legal and institutional reforms. This will be done in tandem with catalyzing regional processes, such as the transboundary diagnostic analysis/strategic action program in order to advance cooperation in large marine ecosystems. Roughly 100 GEF-eligible nations have used this process to reach agreements to improve ocean management. The GEF’s climate change adaptation strategy, which is financed through the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF), aims at supporting developing countries to move to a climate resilient development pathway while reducing exposure to the immediate risks posed by climate change. The GEF adaptation strategy hinges upon three main pillars: – Reduce vulnerability and increase resilience through innovation and technology transfer for adaptation – Mainstream adaptation and resilience for systemic impact – Foster enabling conditions for effective and integrated adaptation.

Relevant funding priorities: As the focus on the organisation is to invest in businesses where changing energy, environmental and resource constraints of needs present financial opportunities, the GEF would be best suited to provide site specific implementation projects where a financial return can be demonstrated, rather than on-going funding for the broader project.

Relevant funding priorities: Outcome 1: Protect priority coral reef sites and climate change resilient refugia; Outcome 2: Transformation towards sustainable livelihoods of reef-dependent communities; Outcome 3: Coral reef restoration and adaptation technologies; Outcome 4: Recovery of coral reef-dependent communities to major shocks (e.g. large storms, health crises, etc.)
