China's 2017-2022 GEF Partnership Program for Sustainable Agriculture, Biodiversity, and Climate Change

This document outlines the PRC-GEF Partnership Program for Sustainable Agricultural Development in China, a 60-month initiative (starting around July 2017, with a commitment deadline of June 2019) supported by the GEF Trust Fund (totaling $12,303,945 GEF financing and $83,280,000 co-financing). The program's core purpose is to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and China’s National Plan for Sustainable Development of Agriculture (2015-2030). The program's scope covers key areas within China's agricultural sector, focusing on biodiversity and climate change mitigation. Key obligations and activities include: a) Piloting and scaling up effective policy and investment measures to mainstream in-situ conservation and sustainable use of globally important genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA). b) Improving the prevention, control, and management of invasive alien species (IAS). c) Conserving and enhancing carbon stock and promoting evidence-based and climate-smart conservation of grassland ecosystems. d) Fostering collaborative innovation in climate change and biodiversity across policy, mechanism, knowledge sharing, and partnerships. A key component involves strengthening the enabling environment through policy, regulatory, and strategic frameworks at national and provincial levels to support these activities. The affected sectors include Agriculture, Environmental Protection, and Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine, with specific mention of the Agriculture Departments of Hainan and Hubei Provinces as executing partners. The program is led by UNDP, with FAO and the World Bank as other GEF Agencies. Executing partners include the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Environmental Protection, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and the provincial agriculture departments mentioned. Relevant regulations and statutes explicitly referenced are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and China’s National Plan for Sustainable Development of Agriculture (2015-2030). The program duration is 60 months from its start date (resubmission date July 13, 2017), with a Program Commitment Deadline of June 2019.
