The Global Environment Facility (GEF), headquartered in the United States, is a leading international partnership dedicated to addressing global environmental challenges. Founded in 1991, the GEF has played a pivotal role in funding projects that promote sustainable development across various regions, including Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Operating within the environmental sector, the GEF focuses on critical areas such as biodiversity, climate change, and land degradation. Its unique approach combines financial resources with technical expertise, enabling countries to implement innovative solutions for environmental sustainability. With over $20 billion in funding and a network of 183 member countries, the GEF has established itself as a key player in global environmental governance, achieving significant milestones in conservation and sustainable resource management.
How does Global Environment Facility's carbon action stack up? DitchCarbon scores companies based on their carbon action and commitment to reducing emissions. Read about our methodology to learn more.
Mean score of companies in the Other Services industry. Comparing a company's score to the industry average can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.

In 2022, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 43,186,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 74,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 29,640,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included about 130,000 kg CO2e attributed to purchased goods and services. Despite these figures, GEF has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. All emissions data is directly reported by the Global Environment Facility, with no cascaded data from parent or related organisations. As GEF is headquartered in the US, its emissions profile reflects its operational impact on global climate change.

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.
