Great Green Wall - SAHEL REGION AFRICA
The Great Green Wall is an African-led movement with an epic ambition to grow an 8,000km natural wonder of the world across the entire width of Africa.
The Wall promises to be a compelling solution to the many urgent threats not only facing the African Continent, but the global community as a whole – notably climate change, drought, famine, conflict and migration.
GREEN WALL OF INDIA
It will be a 1,400km long and 5km wide green belt from Gujarat to the Delhi-Haryana border, on the lines of the “Great Green Wall” running through the width of Africa, from Dakar (Senegal) to Djibouti, to combat climate change and desertification.
If approved, this may turn out to be a legacy programme in India’s efforts to deal with land degradation and the eastward march of the Thar desert.
India seeks replicate the idea as a national priority under its goal to restore 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030.
The green belt may not be contiguous, but would roughly cover the entire degraded Aravali range through a massive afforestation exercise.

GEF & GCF (Don't get confused anymore)
⭕️Global Environment Facility (GEF)
⭕️Green Climate Fund(GCF)
Global Environment Facility (GEF)
✅It was established in 1992 during Rio Summit.
✅It is an umbrella type of funding mechanism which provides funding to following conventions:
🔳Location -Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America
1️⃣Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
2️⃣UNFCCC
3️⃣Stockholm Convention
4️⃣UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)
5️⃣Minamata Convention on Mercury.
✅GEF has 18 implementing partners for this purpose, like World Bank, Asian development bank, World wide fund(WWF), IUCN, FAO etc.
✅Today GEF has become an international partnership of 183 countries, international institutions, civil society organizations, and private sector to address global environmental issues.
Green climate fund (GCF):
🔰 It is a fund within UNFCC,founded in 2010 to assist developing countries in adaptation and mitigation practices to counter climate change.
🔰It is based in the new Songdo district of South Korea.
💡GEF has set set itself a goal of raising $100 billion per year by 2020 for financing climate actions.
💡This was also re-iterated in COP-21 held in paris last year.
So, the diffrence b/w GEF and GCF is:
✔️GEF is older
✔️GEF has broader mandate, GCF deals with UNFCCC only.
