- W101434137 abstract "1992 Rio Earth Summit set forth the issues and principles for addressing the challenges of sustainable development. The need to identify solutions to global problems that meet local needs, the importance of the precautionary principle, and other tenets necessary for balancing economic growth with environmental constraints were incorporated in environmental agreements on biodiversity and climate change. However, implementing these broad principles in practice has proven to be an enormous challenge. One obstacle is the need for resources to pay for the added costs of global environmental protection; while the benefits of biodiversity and reduced climate change accrue worldwide, the costs are incurred locally. Another frequent barrier is the need to change legal and regulatory systems that promote the inefficient use of resources, discourage technological innovation, or otherwise impede environmentally superior practices. One response to these challenges was the creation of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). First initiated as a pilot program in the World Bank in 1991, GEF was formalized by international agreement in 1994 and given a mandate to finance the incremental costs of global environmental measures in developing countries. About $3 billion in grants has been a catalyst for more than 600 projects with a total value of more than $6.5 billion, ranging from national biodiversity conservation programs to support for energy efficiency business development to the commercialization of solar thermal power plants, fuel cells, and other emerging technologies. A substantial number of these projects have also helped to address legal and regulatory barriers such as the need for power purchase agreements to market wind energy systems and efficiency standards to promote improved lighting and appliances. This article provides an overview of the GEF's role as a catalyst for financing and legal and regulatory reforms necessary for advancing sustainable development in developing countries. The first part describes the GEF's governance, financial resources, and operating" @default.
