An appropriate transparency framework will generate multiple social, economic and environmental co-benefits, including human capacity, local and national institutional strengthening, cost-effective national budgeting and planning, reduced vulnerability of food systems, and resilient natural resources and ecosystems on which food systems depend. Through improved and more transparent data, the project will also support increased local, regional and national investments, and improved decision making. Activities and institutional arrangements such as required NGO and civil society representation on the PSC will ensure that the project directly benefits all stakeholders by improving the quality of information related to climate change in the AFOLU and other relevant sectors. Timely, accessible, high-quality information will enable better decision making and planning, and increase transparency to improve governance and accountability.[1] Specific guidance on how FAO can promote the Four Pillars of Decent Work in rural areas is provided in the Quick reference for addressing decent rural employment (as well as in the full corresponding Guidance document).

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.In conjunction with the substantial CO2 emission reductions, a significant reduction of the emissions of air pollutants such as NOx, SOx, PM and CO will be achieved in urban areas, as electric vehicles will not generate any such pollutant emissions locally. The switch from often polluting ICE vehicles to electric will reduce the emission of dioxins and furans. Reduced air pollution will result in less premature deaths and lower costs for the health system, along with improving quality of life. Not only air pollution will be reduced, also the pollution from POPs, and thus contamination of soil and water.In addition, the project will contribute to significant cost reductions resulting from reduced expenditures on fuel imports. Therefore, the project is also expected to improve energy security, since the share of local energy resources used in the transport sector will grow and dependency on imported fuels will decrease. Since petroleum fuel price volatility is partly buffered through taxation, the project also reduces the volatility in tax income. This project will focus on batteries used for electric vehicles, including issues with respect to the re-use, recycling and safe disposal of used EV batteries. Thus, the project not only looks into the mitigation of GHG and air pollutant emissions but also anticipates emerging environmental issues stemming from a large-scale market introduction of electric vehicles and seeks to develop strategies and policies to mitigate the associated risks. This project will carry out study on the options to link-up with better integration of variable renewable power in grids for electric vehicle recharging. To that end, the project may result in additional GHG emissions reduction stemming from the possible enabling role of electric mobility for the up-scaled integration of variable renewable power.Global Environment Facility UNEP Department of Energy, Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-hazards, Energy, Environment and Disaster Management, Government of Vanuatu CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Vanuatu Port Vila -17.7338111111 168.32188005556 871560 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11265 Global Environment Facility To build on existing initiatives in Vanuatu to enhance the resilience of ecosystems and communities by placing nature at the centre of human well-being in the areas of food (fisheries and agriculture) and community-based tourism.

However, all team members will be responsible for incorporating knowledge management into their roles. During the PPG phase, several key needs for knowledge management have been identified:? The collection and organization of existing knowledge regarding biophysical, productive, and socioeconomic conditions in the four target areas and their associated ecosystems.? The organization, analysis, and interpretation of knowledge generated through the piloting of innovative NbS.? The development of an effective outreach strategy to ensure that NbS pilot results inform policy decisions and attract private and public investments? The dissemination of knowledge generated through NbS pilots to stakeholders, facilitating investment in the four target areas of Vanuatu and potential expansion across the region.? The monitoring of trends in conditions and the effectiveness of NbS in the four target areas and their ecosystems, guiding adaptive policy and investment formulation and implementation.? The sharing of knowledge on challenges, strategies, and results related to the management of the four target areas in Vanuatu and their associated ecosystems across the BGI IP portfolio.The gap analysis will involve interviews with representatives from key government agencies and village-level stakeholders in the four target areas. Additionally, it will entail a review of prevailing reporting templates used by provincial officers (tourism, agriculture, and area administrators) to facilitate ongoing monitoring processes.Building on the results of the knowledge gap analysis, a learning strategy will be developed. This strategy will include the creation of a common reporting template to enhance monitoring, documentation, and sharing of best practices and lessons learned, including failures, at local, regional, and global levels. The reporting template will define indicators and processes for monitoring and evaluating knowledge management and learning objectives.The project’s learning strategy will be integrated with the BGI IP’s community of practice to facilitate effective knowledge exchange and learning among child projects. This will involve regular interaction via the IP’s thematic hubs.In line with FAO’s Knowledge Strategy (2011) and GEF’s knowledge management Approach (2015), the project’s knowledge management strategies include:1) Collaborative and participatory formulation of protocols for monitoring (including environmental quality indicators) and the processing, management and exchange of data;2) The full engagement of institutional and local stakeholders in the formulation and management of NBS pilots, in order to maximize their receptiveness to information on their results; and in the definition of indicators and design of corresponding monitoring protocols, in order to foment their adoption, application and sustained application;3) Targeted capacity enhancement of key stakeholders (based on capacity needs assessment at project start), in order to raise their receptiveness and ability to receive, manage, digest and apply knowledge;4) Engagement of national and regional academic and research institutions, in the collation and generation of knowledge, in its dissemination (through educational curricula and training events), and as repositories of knowledge generated through the project;5) Regular knowledge outreach, through printed and on-line publications and periodic stocktaking and dissemination meetings. E.2 Socio-economic Benefits and Decent Rural Employment[1]The project will support women and youth in Vanuatu currently largely involved in subsistence production to design and develop their own businesses that will be based on NbS they will also co-design. Hence, the project is intended to bring about positive changes for local livelihoods. The project will ensure that its activities do not perpetuate poverty and inequality in socially unsustainable food systems and tourism. While identified health and safety risks are considered as minor, the project will ensure that adequate measures are taken to ensure safety of workers and farmers during these activities aligned with FAO social and environment guidelines.Finally, through the project life-cycle, the project will apply principles, practices and techniques that are best suited to avoiding the violation of, and promoting the application of core international labour standards, other international labour standards relevant to the agri-food sectors, tourism, and national employment and labour laws.
