This project represents Canada's support to the seventh replenishment of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which is one of the largest sources of global environment funding. By supporting the GEF, Canada helps developing countries meet their obligations under several multilateral environmental agreements in a way that supports national sustainable development priorities and ensures benefits for local development. These multilateral environmental agreements include the Convention on Biological Diversity, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and Minamata Convention on Mercury. Through the GEF, Canada supports activities across six focal areas, including climate change, biodiversity, land degradation, chemicals and waste, international waters, and sustainable forest management.
