- Overview
The Seventh GEF Assembly and Associated Meetings
22 - 26 August, Vancouver, Canada
The GEF Assembly is the highest governing body of the GEF, composed of 185 member countries. Every four years, the GEF Assembly meets at ministerial level to: review general policies; review and evaluate GEF’s operations based on reports submitted to Council; review the membership of the Facility; and consider, for approval by consensus, amendments to the Instrument for the Establishment of the Restructured Global Environment Facility on the basis of recommendation by the Council. It is also a great opportunity for all members to exchange political priorities, plan for, and communicate their aspirations for the long-term action of the GEF.
The Assembly's agenda will include high-level roundtables, a Partnership Forum on August 23, side events, and opportunities to visit environmental activities close to Vancouver on August 26 that can serve as learning opportunities.
