Its success to date stems from a number of factors, institutional as well as operational, including: an ability to translate vision and concepts into viable action; an emphasis on our role as a catalyst for sustainable development while respecting national priorities; its role in supporting Conventions that emerged from Rio, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the UN Convention on Climate Change, and GEF activities that take into account the objectives of the Convention to Control Desertification, and other global environmental treaties; its demonstration of new and renewable energy technologies, specifically for developing countries; its integrated approaches for land, water, and biodiversity conservation; its tangible partnerships with governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector; and its institutional arrangement of a streamlined organization relying on existing, proven organizations for implementing its actions on the ground. Sections of this report look at each of these critical facets of the GEF. They also provide a means for contemplating what life on this planet can be like in the next century and beyond if the earth can be safeguarded.  Réduire
