CEO of Global Environment Facility, Carlos Manuel Rodríguez, to visit Sweden
SWEDEN, April 1 - The CEO of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Carlos Manuel Rodríguez will visit Stockholm on 1–2 April for meetings with Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa and Minister for Climate and the Environment Romina Pourmokhtari. In connection with the visit, meetings will also be held with the Riksdag’s Committee on Environment and Agriculture, the business sector, universities, civil society organisations and representatives of public authorities.
On 1 April, Mr Dousa and Ms Pourmokhtari will meet with Mr Rodríguez.
The purpose of the visit is to discuss Swedish priorities ahead of the GEF’s ninth replenishment, which will begin this year and conclude in the first half of 2026. The GEF is a key operator in global environmental efforts. It works to safeguard biodiversity, save endangered species, clean up plastic from the world’s oceans and phase out persistent organic pollutants that poison our environment.
“I’m proud that the Government is prioritising and expanding its climate aid by way of support for the Global Environment Facility. I’m looking forward to discussing with Carlos Manuel how we can work together to reinforce the work of the GEF and increase its cost-efficiency, not least through cooperation with private operators,” says Mr Dousa.
“Our ambition is to safeguard biodiversity, combat climate change and protect the world’s oceans. The entire global economy is built upon a functioning ecosystem and a thriving natural world. Through these important investments, we are safeguarding the value chains on which Sweden is dependent for greater growth and prosperity,” adds Ms Pourmokhtari.
