FFEM’s intervention strategy is set for the period 2015-2018

Our strategic priorities

To finance operations that reconcile the protection of the global environment and economic growth in the countries where it operates, FFEM has historically focused its operations on the fields of climate, biodiversity, international waters, land degradation, chemical pollutants and the stratospheric ozone layer.

In 2019, a new strategic programming framework covering the period 2019-2022 prioritized the activities financed by FFEM on the basis of 5 thematic areas:
- Protection and enhancement of biodiversity
- Sustainable forests and agricultural lands
- Resilience of aquatic ecosystems
- Energy transition and resilient cities
- Product life cycle, pollution, and wastes

Furthermore, for any given theme, the FFEM pays special attention to the following tools or procedures for innovation:
- Digital technologies
- Nature-based solutions
- Frugal innovation
- The “One Health” approach
