GEF Partnership Pavilion
The GEF Partnership Pavilion at COP24 hosted a series of events, briefings, launches and receptions.
To help confront climate change, we need to transform the systems that support how we live, how we eat, how we move, and how we produce and consume. With a focus on delivering transformational change that will safeguard the climate and other global commons, some 30 events were co-organized with many of the GEF implementing agencies, and other partners.
Gustavo Fonseca opened the 2018 Rio Conventions Pavilion, hosted by the GEF Partnership Pavilion at the COP24. Watch the video here. A wrap up video of GEF side events at COP24 is also available.
