The second programming tranche of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF) will open on August 11, 2025, and make $161.8 million of additional resources available in a series of consecutive calls for proposals.
Established in response to decisions from the Convention on Biological Diversity COP15, the GBFF scales up financing for the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The fund was ratified by 186 countries and launched at the Seventh GEF Assembly in Vancouver, Canada in August 2023.
A total of $201.6 million was programmed in the first tranche, which opened on February 9, 2024. Under this tranche, 40 projects in 41 countries will benefit from GBFF support.
The maximum total dollar value of new funding request(s) each country can submit during the second programming tranche is available here. These maximums were calculated according to the GBFF Policy on Allocation of Resources and reflect GBFF capitalization, agreed country-specific ceilings, and resources programmed in the first tranche.
Resources will be allocated in a country-driven manner through consecutive selection rounds open to all eligible countries.
