Climate Change - Loss and Damage: An Evolving Challenge
This publication highlights SGP’s three decades of experience in engaging civil society and local communities, including Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, and persons with disabilities, on locally-led climate action, adaptation and resilience. The projects presented demonstrate how financial mechanisms with a community and locally-led action window allow vulnerable communities easy and direct access to international funding and can help effectively address some of the loss and damage linked to climate change.

Community - based Chemicals and Waste Management
The proliferation of harmful chemicals is a growing concern for human health and well-being and the global environment.
During its 6th replenishment period (July 2014 to June 2018; GEF-6), GEF continues to play a catalytic role in leveraging budgetary resources to support elimination and reduction of harmful chemicals and waste.
The GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) is the special window of the GEF providing financial and technical support to communities and civil society organizations for addressing global environmental challenges, while also promoting poverty reduction and sustainable development. In the chemicals and waste focal area, SGP focuses its support to communities at the forefront of chemical threats either as users or consumers, including women and indigenous peoples.
As of April 2017, SGP has supported 565 projects with an investment of more than $16 million in GEF grant funding, leveraging more than $18 million in co-financing from multiple sources. SGP’s chemicals and waste portfolio has focused on: solid waste management to avoid open burning of waste; pesticide management in agriculture and organic farming; • reduction of chemicals usage and contamination (such as PCB) in small-scale businesses; capacity development, awareness raising and knowledge sharing.
