The Global Environment Facility (GEF) approves new adaptation funding to help strengthen resilience in vulnerable countries. Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Niue, Senegal, Solomon Islands, Sudan and Togo are among the recipients of more than USD 67 million in fresh support. According to reporting based on the GEF’s decision, the financing is delivered through a set of projects under the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF). The funding is intended to support adaptation efforts, with a focus on improving the ability of recipient countries to cope with climate-related risks. While the outlets describe the approvals at the country level and do not detail individual project components, they characterize the package as targeted support for resilience-building in countries considered highly vulnerable to climate impacts. The announcement reflects the continued role of LDCF and SCCF in channeling adaptation resources through the GEF, allocating grants to implement measures intended to reduce exposure to climate hazards and strengthen long-term resilience.
