IISD at the Seventh GEF Assembly
Environmental leaders from 185 countries will gather in Vancouver, Canada, for the Seventh Assembly of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) from August 22 to 26. Building on recent diplomatic breakthroughs on biodiversity loss, toxic chemicals, and the high seas, the GEF Assembly aims to act as a critical stocktaking for 2030 goals to end pollution and nature loss, combat climate change, and propel inclusive, locally led conservation.
