GEF-8 Replenishment
On June 21, 2022, twenty-nine donor governments finalized $5.33 billion in pledges to the Global Environment Facility for the next four years, an increase of more than 30 percent from its last operating period and a surge of support for international efforts to meet nature and climate targets.
GEF-7 Replenishment
On April 25, 2018, close to 30 countries jointly pledged $4.1 billion to the Global Environment Facility to better protect the future of the planet and human well-being.
