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.

What is Polycrack?
It is the world’s very first patented heterogeneous catalytic process which converts multiple feedstocks into hydrocarbon liquid fuels, gas, carbon as well as water.
The waste generated will become the feeder material for the waste to energy plant. The energy which will be produced at the plant, will be in the form of light diesel oil and this oil will be used to light furnaces.
