Synopsis (short abstract) The GEF is the financial mechanism of multilateral environmental agreements. It was created in 1991 to help tackle the world’s most pressing environmental problems. The FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia has been partnering with the GEF project since GEF-5 (2010–2014) to support Member Countries in sustainably managing natural resources and preserving biodiversity in a changing climate. To date, the regional GEF portfolio has grown to 30 projects covering all focal areas (climate change, biodiversity, land degradation, international waters, and chemicals and waste). For coming GEF-8, this material has been prepared to provide a piece of general information on the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and its projects in Europe and Central Asia and promote FAO-GEF partnership in the region and bring more attention from the stakeholders to work with FAO as a partner agency.

    FAO in Europe and Central Asia 2022 2023
    Also available in:
    FAO’s work in Europe and Central Asia and throughout the world is guided by the FAO Strategic Framework, reviewed every four years. In its support for the 2030 Agenda and its drive for a transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems, the new FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031 focuses on what are called the four betters – a set of goals that, when implemented, will help ensure that no one is left behind. In each of the FAO programme countries and territories in Europe and Central Asia, the Organization and its many partners achieved great success in 2022 in advancing towards the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life. This report provides a snapshot of these important efforts and achievements.
