Abstract

Promotional brochure describing the impact of projects, related to safeguarding international waters and freshwater and marine ecosystems, which have been funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). It emphasizes the need for increased cooperation among countries to sustainably manage the world's water ecosystems. Other recommendations include the need for integrated management of land and water resources, as well as the protection of aquatic biodiversity for sustainable use.
The brochure includes highlights of GEF-support projects in the Mekong delta, Danube delta, and Lake Baringo. GEF has carried out projects in 139 countries on integrated management of land and water resources, committing US$ 974 million since 1990 and leveraging US$ 2.1 billion in co-financing from other sources for water-related projects.
