Sajjan, Minister of International Development and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada, announced that Canada will host the Seventh Assembly of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in Vancouver, British Columbia, from August 22 to 26, 2023.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">After welcoming the world to Montr\u00e9al, Quebec, for the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) in December 2022\u2014a conference marked by historic progress on protecting nature globally and agreeing to biodiversity financing\u2014Canada continues its leadership as the host of the GEF Assembly this summer.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The GEF Assembly, which meets every 4 years, is the global body that coordinates financing for international efforts to address climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and strains on land and ocean health. This meeting will bring together environmental leaders from 185 countries, including government ministers and representatives of international organizations, businesses, academia and civil society, as well as facilitating engagement with and input from Indigenous Peoples, women and young people.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This meeting comes at a time of significant diplomatic momentum with the historic Global Biodiversity Framework deal reached at COP15 and the high seas treaty agreed on in New York City, New York, in March 2023.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This momentum will continue to build at the GEF Assembly, during which a key expected outcome is the launch of the new Global Biodiversity Framework Fund\u2014a critically needed source of funding for the protection of endangered species and their ecosystems. Its establishment could open new avenues for private sector and philanthropic support for nature. The GEF, based in Washington, D.C., was selected to manage this new fund at COP15.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Canada is a founding member of the GEF\u2014Canada\u2019s primary mechanism for helping developing countries address climate change. At COP15, Canada announced it would provide $219 million between 2022 and 2026 to the GEF\u2019s eighth replenishment to support developing countries\u2019 efforts to address global environmental challenges and meet their commitments under international environmental conventions. Canada also committed $350 million in new and additional funding to support developing countries in conserving biodiversity and to support the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In June 2021, Canada also doubled its climate finance commitment to $5.3 billion over 5 years (2021 to 2026) to support developing countries\u2019 transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient, nature-positive and inclusive sustainable development.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Toheeb Adenle Canadian city of Vancouver is set to host the 7th Assembly of Global Environment Facility (GEF), in August 2023.
