GBFF Council approves ambitious work program that advances global biodiversity goals
The Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF) was conceived as a tool for innovation and rapid response – to drive resources towards implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The approval by the GBFF Council of a work program that includes three innovative and inclusive projects demonstrates that the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is delivering.
The $28.2 million work program features projects in Colombia, Indonesia, and Madagascar that advance biodiversity conservation on land and sea by integrating ecotourism and sustainable finance, while ensuring the participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
