The winning projects were announced during the\u00a0GEF Assembly<\/a>, a once-every-four-year gathering of 185 countries taking place this week in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Each awardee will receive a grant of up to $100,000 and gain access to networking, training, and knowledge exchange opportunities through the GEF, a family of funds that finances international efforts to address biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change.<\/p>

Winning Antigua Program<\/h2>\n

Adoptacoastline,\u00a0<\/strong>Antigua and Barbuda:\u00a0<\/em>Adoptacoastline\u2019s Community Coastal Stewardship project encourages and trains local communities \u2013 with a focus on women and youth \u2013 to remove marine debris and litter and restore and protect coastal ecosystems.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Related activities include education; making, installing, and managing beach bins; planting Indigenous trees to slow coastal erosion; and protecting the nesting sites of endangered turtles and residential and migratory birds.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The winning organizations will be celebrated during the Assembly\u2019s\u00a0Partnership Forum<\/a>\u00a0and will share their experiences in a number of panels and sessions throughout the week, reflecting the GEF\u2019s focus on supporting environmental action and results through a \u201cwhole of society\u201d approach.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cGlobal environmental challenges affect us all, but their impacts are almost entirely locally felt. It is our privilege to celebrate and fund these locally-designed, locally-led remedies for climate resilience, coastline protection, biodiversity conservation, and more,\u201d GEF CEO and Chairperson Carlos Manuel Rodriguez said, celebrating the winners.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Inclusive GEF Assembly Challenge Program is a concrete example of our focus on supporting civil society and lifting up the voices and innovations of Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, and others who have been historically under-represented in international environmental financing and policy,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The 23 winners were chosen from nearly 600 applications, by a selection panel made up of the GEF\u2019s CSO Network, Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel, Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Advisory Group, and Gender Partnership, as well as youth representatives linked to international environmental conventions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

They span 26 countries including Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Bolivia, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Haiti, India, Kenya, Kiribati, Madagascar, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Tanzania, Thailand, Tunisia, and Uganda.<\/p>\n

The winning initiatives include a project applying the Maasai peoples\u2019 Indigenous knowledge for climate resilience in Tanzania; an effort to mobilize rural youth in Costa Rica to preserve biodiversity; activities to bring together women and girls to protect coastlines in Antigua and Barbuda; and a project aiming to empower marginalized and vulnerable groups in Thailand to adapt to climate change.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Esther Morenikeji Emmanuel of U-recycle Initiative Africa, one of the winning groups, said support from the Inclusive GEF Assembly Challenge Program would help expand the organization\u2019s efforts to reduce plastic waste in Nigeria. \u201cIf you want to see change, you have to start small in the areas where you can have a direct impact,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is also easy to begin taking action locally because you can see the issues so clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Bui, Canada\u2019s representative on the GEF Council, welcomed the Inclusive GEF Assembly Challenge Program as a cornerstone of the gathering in Vancouver where a record number of civil society representatives are sharing their perspectives and priorities, on the stage and at the table.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThe only way we can achieve lasting transformational change to safeguard a livable planet is by listening to each other,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to embrace our differences and tap the rich diversity of views existing in all societies. This program does this by celebrating our unsung environmental heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Inclusive GEF Assembly Challenge Program is funded by the Global Environment Facility\u2019s two climate change adaptation funds \u2013 the\u00a0Least Developed Countries Fund<\/a>\u00a0(LDCF) and\u00a0Special Climate Change Fund<\/a>\u00a0(SCCF) \u2013 which have worked for more than 20 years to close financing gaps and provide targeted funding to meet the specific needs of the world\u2019s most vulnerable countries.<\/p>\n

It builds on the record of an earlier SCCF- and LDCF- funded initiative, the\u00a0Challenge Program for Adaptation Innovation<\/a>, which has provided two rounds of seed funding for innovative initiatives designed to help address the effects of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n
