EBRD and Global Environment Facility

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) was established in 1991 as one of the few international funds channelling public resources to address climate change and environmental degradation.

As one of its implementing partners, the EBRD has been receiving grant co-financing, grants for technical assistance and concessional finance for projects in the field of international waters, chemicals and waste, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Success story: Schools, hospitals and over 25,000 families in Khorog, Tajikistan, now have 24-hour access to fresh drinking water, thanks to a project supported by the GEF.

The EBRD currently has the following active projects with the GEF:
