Presentation of the French Global Environment Facility (2025)
Published on
The French Global Environment Facility (FFEM) supports pilot and innovative projects in favour of the environment in developing countries. These projects contribute to the preservation of biodiversity, climate, international waters, land and ozone layer and combat pollution in response to international environmental conventions. They are in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and generate local environmental, social and economic benefits.
The particularity of the FFEM: It relies on pilot projects to support innovation and disseminate lessons learned on a larger scale. It supports projects carried out by public, private or civil society actors from both the South and the North, in co-financing with other financiers and international organizations.
Created in 1994 by the French government following the first Earth Summit, the FFEM has since its creation supported more than 400 projects worth €500 million in over 120 countries, 70% of which are located in Africa and the Mediterranean.
