Achieving the Global Transition to Energy Efficient Lighting Toolkit
This new toolkit is an unparalleled resource for providing guidance for countries to transform their markets to efficient lighting.
Accessing Resources under the LDCF
The LDCF supports the preparation and implementation of the National Adaptation Programs of Action, country driven strategies which identify urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change.
Accessing Resources under the SCCF
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is the managing body of the SCCF and LDCF funds. GEF’s operational policies, procedures and governance structure are applied to these funds, unless COP guidance and LDCF/SCCF Council decide otherwise. Its governing structure is composed of: the Assembly, the Council, the Secretariat, ten Agencies, a Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP), and the Independent Office of Monitoring and Evaluation.
