Explanation:

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) was established on the eve of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, to help tackle our planet’s most pressing environmental problems.The GEF serves as financial mechanism for the following conventions:

The GEF, although not linked formally to the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer (MP), supports implementation of the Protocol in countries with economies in transition.
The GEF administers the LDCF and SCCF which were established by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC.
