Partner organizations that already have an established relationship with the GEF, such as agencies, are free to use the logo in their communications material in accordance with the following guidelines. However, all partners should inform the GEF when and how they plan to use the logo and should share a copy of their final products. All other uses of the GEF logo require prior written authorization from a communications officer. Requests can be submitted to the GEF communications team.
Brand Guidelines
The GEF brand guidelines were updated in April 2023 and replace previous graphic standards. The guidelines establish a system for the consistent usage of the GEF’s visual identity: the logo, color scheme, typography, and other graphic elements that enable audiences to easily recognize and identify the GEF brand.
To compliment the GEF Policy on Communications and Visibility, these guidelines also provide the branding guidance for GEF-funded projects and programs to enhance the visibility and design of their communication/outreach materials. Adhering to these rules will contribute to building a clear, simple, positive image of the GEF across communication channels.
Boilerplate
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a multilateral family of funds dedicated to confronting biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution, and supporting land and ocean health. Its financing enables developing countries to address complex challenges and work towards international environmental goals. The partnership includes 186 member governments as well as civil society, Indigenous Peoples, women, and youth, with a focus on integration and inclusivity. Over the past three decades, the GEF has provided nearly $25 billion in financing and mobilized another $138 billion for country-driven priority projects. The family of funds includes the Global Environment Facility Trust Fund, Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF), Nagoya Protocol Implementation Fund (NPIF), and Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency Trust Fund (CBIT).
