Biodiversity Focal Area
GEF-6 Strategy
Goal: To maintain globally significant biodiversity
and the ecosystem goods and services that it
provides to society.
Objectives:
•
•
•
•
To improve sustainability of protected area systems.
To reduce threats to biodiversity.
To sustainably use biodiversity.
To mainstream conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity into
production landscapes/seascapes and sectors.
International Waters Focal Area
GEF-6 Strategy
• Goal: to promote collective management for
transboundary water systems and foster
policy, legal, and institutional reforms and
investments towards sustainable use and
maintenance of ecosystem services
International Waters: Objectives and Programs
Objective 1: To catalyze
sustainable
management of
Transboundary Waters
1.1: Foster
cooperation for
sustainable use of
transboundary water
systems and economic
growth
1.2 Increase the
Resilience and Flow of
Ecosystems Services in
the Context of Melting
High Altitude Glaciers
Objective 2: To balance
competing water-uses in
the management of
transboundary surface
and groundwater.
2.1 Advance
conjunctive management
of surface and
groundwater Systems
2.2 Increase
Water/Food/Energy/
Ecosystems security
and reduce conflict
potential
Objective 3: To rebuild
marine fisheries, restore
and protect coastal
habitats, and reduce
pollution of coasts and
LMEs
3.1 Prevent the Loss
and Degradation of
Coastal Habitats
3.2 Reduce Ocean
Hypoxia
3.3 Rebuild Global
Fisheries
Effective Management
of surface and groundwater
and of fisheries
Land Degradation Focal Area
GEF-6 Strategy
• Goal: To arrest or reverse land degradation
(desertification and deforestation)
Land Degradation Strategy:
Objectives and Programs
LD-1: Agriculture and Rangeland Systems
• Agro-ecological Intensification
• SLM for Climate-Smart Agriculture
LD-2: Forest Landscapes
• Landscape Management and Restoration
LD-3: Integrated Landscapes
• Scaling up SLM
LD-4: Institutional and Policy Frameworks
• Mainstreaming SLM in Development
Priorities
1. Agro-ecological Intensification – efficient use of natural capital
(land, soil, water, and vegetation) in crop and livestock production
systems
2. SLM in Climate-Smart Agriculture – innovative practices for
increasing vegetative cover and soil organic carbon
3. Landscape Management and Restoration – community and
livelihood-based options for increasing forest and tree cover
4. Scaling-up SLM – moving appropriate interventions to scale for
crop and rangeland productivity
5. Mainstreaming SLM in Development – influencing institutions,
policies, and governance frameworks for SLM

Sustainable Forest Management
GEF-6 Strategy
• Goal: To achieve multiple environmental, social and
economic benefits from improved management of all
types of forests and trees outside of forests.
GEF-6 SFM Strategy:
Objectives and Programs
• To maintain forest resources
– Integrated land use planning
– Identification and monitoring of HCVF
– Identifying and monitoring forest loss
• To enhance forest management
– Developing and implementing model projects for PES
– Capacity development for SFM within local communities
– Supporting sustainable finance mechanisms for SFM
GEF-6 SFM Strategy Objectives
• To restore forest ecosystems
– Building of technical and institutional capacities to identify degraded forest
landscapes and monitor forest restoration
– Integrating plantation management in landscape restoration
• To increase regional and global cooperation
– Private sector engagement
– Global technologies for national progress
GEF-6 Signature Programs
• Signature Programs = Systemic solutions for systemic
drivers
• Five Signature Programs proposed for Gef-6
1. Avoiding the Amazon Dieback
2. Taking Forestry out of the supply chain
3. Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa
4. Sustainable Fisheries
5. Sustainable Cities
