Roland SundstromClimate Change SpecialistMay 28, 2015
• address key drivers of environmental degradation at global or regional scales;
• tackle most urgent issues that may become too costly to reverse;
• enhance synergies across focal areas;• complement country programming with trans-boundary,
regional and global action;+ stronger partnerships and financial leverage
Why integrated approaches?
Three priorities• Taking deforestation out of commodity supply chains;• Sustainable cities; and• Fostering sustainability and resilience for food security
in Sub-Saharan Africa
$160M set-aside, of which $50M and $45M of the food security and sustainable cities programs, respectively, to be used as incentive for countries to invest their STAR allocations at a 1:1 ratio
Taking deforestation out of commodity supply chains (1/2)• GEF funding: $45M; co-financing: $443M• palm oil, soy and beef are priority commodities• key countries in South East Asia, Latin America
and West Africa from the production perspective
• domestic, international and global multinational buyers from the demand perspective
Taking deforestation out of commodity supply chains (2/2)Program goal: reduce the global impacts of agriculture commodities on deforestation, climate change and biodiversity by meeting the growing supply and demand of commodities through means that do not lead to deforestation
