PH haggles for LCD's Global Environment Facility

THE Philippines has supported the interest of least developed countries (LDCs) and small island development states (SIDs) to seize a significant chunk of the 'green' funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which is in its eighth round of funding replenishment.

As the pandemic has hit harder on LDCs and SIDs, the Philippine government, represented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to the GEF talks, has supported the fund's System for Transparent Allocation of Resources (STAR).
