Its unique approach combines financial resources with technical expertise, enabling countries to implement innovative solutions for environmental sustainability.

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 emissions figures, GEF has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The organisation does not inherit emissions data from any parent company, indicating that its reported figures are solely its own. As a key player in global environmental finance, GEF's focus remains on supporting projects that address climate change, although specific metrics for emissions reduction or climate pledges have not been disclosed.
