Guest : Monique Barbut, CEO and Chairman, Global Environment Facility November 28 2010

The transition to sustainability doesn’t come for free, and when funds are not available to reduce the impact of projects, the environment often ends up paying the price of development.

The Global Environmental Facility is the largest financer dedicated to improving projects around the world to limit their environmental footprint. This week on Think Globally Radio, we meet Monique Barbut, the CEO and Chairman of GEF. From the success of the Biodiversity summit in Nagoya to the apprehension ahead of climate negotions in Cancun, Monique Barbut discusses how GEF leverages its resources to deliver the most value for the global environment in wide array of areas from combating desertification and climate change, to preserving biodiversity.
