Biodiversity Focal Area GEF-6 Strategy • Goal: To maintain globally significant biodiversity and the ecosystem goods and services that it provides to society. • Objectives: • To improve sustainability of protected area systems. • To reduce threats to biodiversity. • To sustainably use biodiversity. • To mainstream conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity into production landscapes/seascapes and sectors.
International Waters Focal Area GEF-6 Strategy • Goal: to promote collective management for transboundary water systems and foster policy, legal, and institutional reforms and investments towards sustainable use and maintenance of ecosystem services
International Waters: Objectives and Programs Objective 3: To rebuildmarine fisheries, restore and protect coastal habitats, and reduce pollution of coasts and LMEs Objective 1: To catalyze sustainablemanagement of Transboundary Waters Objective 2: To balance competing water-uses in the management of transboundary surface and groundwater. 1.1: Foster cooperation for sustainable use of transboundary water systems and economic growth 2.1 Advance conjunctive management of surface and groundwater Systems 3.1 Prevent the Loss and Degradation of Coastal Habitats 3.2 Reduce Ocean Hypoxia 1.2 Increase the Resilience and Flow of Ecosystems Services in the Context of Melting High Altitude Glaciers 2.2 Increase Water/Food/Energy/ Ecosystems security and reduce conflict potential 3.3 Rebuild Global Fisheries
Effective Management of surface and groundwater and of fisheries
Land Degradation Focal Area GEF-6 Strategy • Goal: To arrest or reverse land degradation (desertification and deforestation)
Priorities • Agro-ecological Intensification – efficient use of natural capital (land, soil, water, and vegetation) in crop and livestock production systems • SLM in Climate-Smart Agriculture – innovative practices for increasing vegetative cover and soil organic carbon • Landscape Management and Restoration – community and livelihood-based options for increasing forest and tree cover • Scaling-up SLM – moving appropriate interventions to scale for crop and rangeland productivity • Mainstreaming SLM in Development – influencing institutions, policies, and governance frameworks for SLM

Sustainable Forest Management GEF-6 Strategy • Goal: To achieve multiple environmental, social and economic benefits from improved management of all types of forests and trees outside of forests.
GEF-6 SFM Strategy: Objectives and Programs • To maintain forest resources • Integrated land use planning • Identification and monitoring of HCVF • Identifying and monitoring forest loss • To enhance forest management • Developing and implementing model projects for PES • Capacity development for SFM within local communities • Supporting sustainable finance mechanisms for SFM
GEF-6 SFM Strategy Objectives • To restore forest ecosystems • Building of technical and institutional capacities to identify degraded forest landscapes and monitor forest restoration • Integrating plantation management in landscape restoration • To increase regional and global cooperation • Private sector engagement • Global technologies for national progress
GEF-6 Signature Programs • Signature Programs = Systemic solutions for systemic drivers • Five Signature Programs proposed for Gef-61. Avoiding the Amazon Dieback2. Taking Forestry out of the supply chain3. Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa4. Sustainable Fisheries5. Sustainable Cities
