Strategic Priority on Adaptation


Administered by the Global Environment Facility (GEF)


Area of focus - Adaptation


Date operational - 2004


The Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA) was a 3-year pilot programme aimed to show how adaptation planning and assessment could be practically translated into fullscale projects.

The Fund is now closed.


The SPA overall objective was to address local adaptation needs and generate global environmental benefits in the focal areas in which the GEF works: biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation, and persistent organic pollutants.
