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.

For 2023-2026, the FFEM is focusing its action on five priority themes that build on previous FFEM strategies, while at the same time identifying new potentials for innovation:

- Biodiversity conservation and enhancement.
- Aquatic ecosystems resilience.
- Sustainable management of agricultural and forests landscapes.
- Adaptation and low-carbon transition in cities and territories.
- Circular solutions and fight against pollution.

Rather, we aim to spark transformational approaches and scale up effective solutions to benefit people and the environment. These approaches may be based on innovation drivers such as:
- Nature-based solutions and the “One Health” approach.
- Knowledge and expertise.
- Citizen participation.
- Mechanisms to mobilize sustainable financial resources.
- Science to policy.
