The Global
Environment Facility (GEF) is a partnership that includes the
GEF Assembly, GEF Council, GEF Secretariat, and three Implementing
Agencies (UNDP, UNEP, World Bank). Restructured in 1994, the GEF
is a Trust Fund that serves as the financial mechanism for the Convention
on Biological Diversity and the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change. As of September 2003,
the GEF was accepted as a financial mechanism for the UN
Convention to Combat Desertification. In addition, the GEF serves
as the interim financial mechanism for the Stockholm
Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. The GEF's mandate
is guided by these global environment conventions, collaborates
with other international agreements, and is evolving to include
others. The GEF brings together countries from all over the world,
including over 160 member governments, as well as other international
organizations, bilateral development agencies, national institutions,
non-governmental organizations, private sector entities and academic
institutions.
