Global Environment Facility
The Global Environment Facility (GEF), headquartered in the United States, is a pivotal organisation dedicated to addressing global environmental challenges. Founded in 1991, the GEF has played a crucial role in funding initiatives that promote sustainable development across various regions, including Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Operating within the environmental finance industry, the GEF focuses on key areas such as biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and sustainable land management. Its unique approach combines financial resources with technical expertise, enabling countries to implement transformative projects that yield long-term ecological benefits. Recognised for its significant contributions to global environmental governance, the GEF has mobilised billions in funding and partnered with numerous international organisations, solidifying its position as a leader in environmental sustainability efforts worldwide.

Global Environment Facility's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) reported carbon emissions data, although specific figures for total emissions in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The organisation has not provided information on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. Currently, there are no established reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges. This absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that while GEF is engaged in environmental efforts, quantifiable commitments to reduce carbon emissions have not been publicly outlined. As a key player in global environmental finance, GEF's focus remains on funding projects that address climate change and promote sustainable development, but further transparency in emissions data and reduction strategies would enhance their accountability and impact in the fight against climate change.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Global Environment Facility is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
