IUCN launches call for proposals for the preparation of the ‘Sustainable Management of Peatland Ecosystems in Mekong Countries’ project

IUCN has launched a call for proposals for the management and delivery of the Project Preparation process for the ‘Sustainable Management of Peatland Ecosystems in Mekong Countries’ project. Approved by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Council in April 2016, the project will be implemented by GEF Partner Agency, IUCN. The goal of the project is to sustainably manage peatland ecosystems in targeted countries, including Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar, and to conserve biodiversity and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) was established on the eve of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, to help tackle pressing environmental problems. Since then, the GEF has provided $14.5 billion in grants and mobilized $75.4 billion in additional financing for almost 4,000 projects. The GEF has become an international partnership of 183 countries, international institutions, civil society organizations, and private sector to address global environmental issues.
