The Fourth Assembly of the GEF took place from 24 - 28 May, 2010 at the Convention Center of the Conrad Resort & Casino - Punta del Este, Uruguay.

The Assembly, held once every three to four years, is a strategic opportunity for GEF stakeholders to meet, take stock, and collectively strengthen strategies and actions for protecting the global environment and achieving sustainable development.

The Assembly combined plenary meetings and high-level panels, exhibits, side events and GEF project site visits.
