GEF Net-Zero Nature-Positive Accelerator Integrated Programme Global Platform
The overall program is the Net-Zero Nature-Positive Accelerator Integrated Programme (NZNPA IP). The central objective of the NZNPA IP is to support countries in accelerating their efforts to achieve net-zero and nature-positive economies. This is to be achieved by catalyzing finance and partnerships, triggering investment, promoting policy and governance coherence, and curating, diffusing, and transferring experiences, good practices, and lessons learned. The NZNPA IP is aligned with the GEF-8 programming strategies and responds to the focal areas of climate change, biodiversity, and land degradation. The NZNPA IP includes a Global Platform and Country Child Projects. The Global Platform (GEF Project ID: 11098) is a global coordination project that acts as a central ‘enabler’ for the entire integrated program. Its main objective is to support the 12 participating countries in their transition to net-zero nature-positive economies by generating and transferring knowledge, building capacity, catalyzing finance, and fostering partnerships. The Global Platform focuses on helping global and national actors understand how to effectively integrate nature into net-zero planning and implementation actions. It will develop new global knowledge, building upon existing efforts, and ensure that experiences and lessons learned from the country projects are shared. This knowledge will be a global good accessible to all countries. The Global Platform is comprised of a collaborative and coordinated effort between UNEP, ADB, CAF, CPI, WCMC and UNEP FI and has a duration of six years to support the participating country projects. The incoming implementing partner will join the above list of agencies to coordinate and run the global platform. The Country Child Projects are national-level projects being implemented in 12 participating countries: Chile, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Indonesia, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Viet Nam. These projects are supported by the Global Platform, which will service, coordinate amongst, and create capacities and enabling conditions for them. The child projects are intended to concurrently implement their own national NZNPA strategies in priority sectors, thereby contributing to significant global environmental benefits such as greenhouse gas emission reductions, biodiversity conservation, and land restoration. The Global Platform will provide these countries with tools and knowledge for developing comprehensive nature-positive plans to achieve climate neutrality through ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). Resources from the child projects’ GEF budgets are designated for participation in Global Platform activities.
