Strategic targeting of drivers and pressures within GEF interventions is needed to deliver global
environmental benefits at scale: impacts what we do, who we work with, and how
we do it. One-off, site specific

GEF2020 Strategy
A new strategy of the GEF to support transformational
change and achieve impacts at scale.
• Focus on drivers of environmental degradation
• Deliver integrated solutions, given that many global
challenges are interlinked
• Forge close relationships with a variety of stakeholders
• Finance resilience and adaptation
• Ensure complementarity and synergies in climate finance
Outline of GEF2020 Strategy
We must tackle both the drivers of environmental degradation and select
the right influencing models in order to have impact at scale

Integrated Thinking
• Drivers of environmental degradation are linked in complex ways
• Single issue analysis leads to “silo” thinking - systems analysis leads to integrated thinking
• Integrated thinking inspires creative and inclusive solutions that deliver environmental benefits aligned with GEF focal area objectives
• Examples: Water, Food & Energy Nexus; Urban Environments
Water, Food, Energy Nexus
Availability, distribution, access and sustainability of Water Food, energy and their resilience in the face of climate change.
Natural Disasters
Availability of Food
Cost of WaterCost of Power
& Fuel Human Health
Biodiversity impacts Food prices
Objective 1: Promote innovation &
technology transfer
LD 3: Integrated Landscapes
SFM 1: To maintain forest
resources
4.Water/Food/Energy/Ecosystem Security Nexus
9. Managing the Human-interface: landscape/seascape approach
Urban Environments
Urban environments are complex systems that touch our lives and the environment across all focal areas. Use integrated thinking for creative solutions.

Program 3: Integrated low-carbon urban
systems
5. Mainstreaming SLM in
Development
Climate resilient urban systems
6. Prevent the Loss and Degradation of Coastal Habitat
10. Integration of biodiversity and ecosystem services in development

• Using integrated thinking, propose creative and inclusive solutions
• Solutions should deliver results that align with GEF-6 focal area objectives
• Recognize the rise in MFA projects
• Single FA projects might still be necessary in specific contexts
GEF-6 Biodiversity
Strategy
Biodiversity Focal Area GEF-6 Strategy
Goal: To maintain globally significant biodiversity and the ecosystem goods and services that it provides to society.
Objectives: 1. Improve sustainability of protected area systems.2. Reduce threats to biodiversity.3. Sustainably use biodiversity.4. Mainstream conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity
into production landscapes/seascapes and sectors.
GEF-6 BD Objectives and Programs
10. Integration of biodiversity and ecosystem services in development and financial planning
Goal: To maintain globally significant biodiversity and the ecosystem goods and services that it provides to society
BD1: Improve Sustainability of Protected Area
System
BD 2: Reduce threats to Globally
Significant Biodiversity
BD4: Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable
Use in Production Landscapes/ Seascapes and Sectors
1. Improving financial sustainability and effective management of national ecological infrastructure
2 . Expanding the reach of the global protected area estate.
3. Preventing extinction of known threatened species
9. Managing the Human- interface: landscape/seascape approach
4. Prevention, control, and mgmt of Invasive Alien Species.
5. Implementing the Cartagena Protocol of Biosafety
BD 3: Sustainable Use of Biodiversity
6. Ridge to Reef: Maintaining integrity and function of globally significant coral reefs
7. Securing Agriculture’s Future: Sustainable use of plants and animals genetic resources.
8. Implementing the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing.

GEF-6 LD Objectives and Programs
Goal: To arrest or reverse land degradation (desertification and deforestation)
LD 1: Agriculture and Rangeland
Systems
LD 2: Forest Landscapes
LD 4: Institutional and Policy Frameworks
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
5. Mainstreaming SLM in Development – influencing institutions, policies, and governance frameworks for SLM
LD 3: Integrated Landscapes
