watershed management

The project will improve integrated landscape management and ecosystem services and increase benefits for targeted forest‑dependent communities in Tripura and Nagaland. It finances restoration of degraded forests, agricultural lands, and wetlands; soil and water conservation; afforestation and agroforestry; climate‑smart agriculture; enhanced biodiversity conservation; and community‑led landscape planning and value‑chain development for forest‑based livelihoods.

Investment Project Financing to construct a new ~46 km, two‑lane, climate‑resilient and safe road connecting CA‑4 (near Macuelizo) to CA‑13 (near Corinto, at the Guatemala border), improve resilient feeder roads, and support inclusive, integrated forest and sustainable landscape management and institutional capacity. The PDO is to improve climate‑resilient and safe transport access in northwestern Honduras and promote sustainable livelihoods through landscape management and women‑led economic initiatives. Total financing: US$187 million. Planned closing: Dec 31, 2031.

A GEF-financed regional IPF that strengthens preparedness of governments and the private sector in Georgia, Moldova, Türkiye, and Ukraine to reduce pollution in the Black Sea. The project delivers national policy/legal assessments and harmonization recommendations; prepares investment recommendations and pre-feasibility analyses for high-impact depollution projects; runs eco-innovation challenges and grants to pilot private-sector solutions; and supports regional knowledge sharing and dialogue. 

The project’s development objective is to improve access to climate resilient urban infrastructure and public facilities, and reduce flood risk in selected cities. The project will upgrade green public spaces and riverbanks, integrating NBS to address the urban heat island effect and improve soil infiltration capacities, and invest in hybrid flood risk reduction infrastructure.

The project will improve resilient connectivity in the Northern Metropolitan Area of San Salvador (Apopa logistics node), strengthen sustainable road sector management, and enable rapid emergency response through a CERC, including climate-resilient designs for the Apopa bypass and bridge SAL38, and institutional capacity building (road asset management, road safety, gender, and integration of nature-based solutions into design standards)

The project will improve resilient, sustainable, and safe road connectivity in rural areas of the Province of Guayas and, in case of an eligible crisis or emergency, respond promptly and effectively through a contingent component

The project will strengthen the management of water resources and increase access to improved drinking water and sanitation services in selected regions by financing: (i) mobilization and management of water resources for multiple uses (including rehabilitation of large and small dams and hydrometric systems); (ii) expansion of urban and rural water supply systems; (iii) sanitation and hygiene services including fecal sludge treatment plants and institutional WASH; and (iv) institutional strengthening and project management, with a Contingent Emergency Response Component for shocks.

The project will strengthen Chile’s capacity for integrated water resources management, enhance rural water supply and sanitation services, and build climate resilience through green and gray solutions, including the mainstreaming of nature-based solutions. It supports basin-level governance and planning, development of tools for surface and groundwater monitoring, and the adoption of guidelines to integrate NBS into hydraulic infrastructure, while improving rural service sustainability and managing urban floods and runoff across the country

The project will increase land productivity and strengthen climate resilience of fragile colline communities by restoring priority watersheds, scaling integrated landscape management, and supporting climate-resilient livelihoods. Core activities include enabling policies and institutions for climate risk management, adaptive watershed planning and restoration, climate‑smart agriculture and diversified livelihoods, and land certification to enhance tenure security, with a Contingent Emergency Response Component for shocks

The Project Development Objective (project development objective) is to increase the efficiency and resilience of trade, transport, and digital connectivity along selected corridors in Bhutan. The project will pilot a road maintance contract to implement climate adaptation features along key transport routes, including NBS for flood attentuation and slope stabilization.
