2. Examples from the AmericasLarge Marine EcosystemsClean Production Assessment
3. Large Marine EcosystemsLarge Marine Ecosystem (LME) concept developed within NOAA over 30 years ago and adopted by GEF at its inception as a programmatic frameworkGEF has funded 17 LME programs globally
4. Large Marine EcosystemsGEF has provided partial funding support to LMEs along with support from host nations, donors, United NationsCurrent American ProjectsCaribbean + North Brazil Shelf (CLME+; UNDP)Gulf of Mexico (GOM LME; UNIDO)
5. 20 CountriesUS$ 130 M
6. CLME+ Strategic Action ProgrammeReduce unsustainable exploitation of fish and other living marine resourcesReduce habitat degradation and community modificationReduce pollutionCross-cutting issues: adaptation to climate change, strengthen science-policy interface, broaden gender participation, governance
7.
8. CLME+ Governance will support the difficult work of coordinated and sustained management that lies ahead, ideally beyond the 2015-2020 implementation periodA healthy marine environment provides benefits and livelihoods for the well-being of the people of the region

10. SAP Resulting ProjectsImprove water qualityAvoid depletion and recover living marine resourcesConserve and restore the quality of coastal and marine ecosystems through community involvementAdd-on project focusing on mercuryCross-cutting issues: climate change, outreach and education, gender equality
11. TEST MethodologyTransfer of Environmentally Sound Technology MethodologyDeveloped by UNIDO in the year 2000 and implemented in Mexico from 2008-2012Aimed at improving environmental management and competitiveness of companies and industries in developing and transition economies
12. Overview 5 TEST Management ToolsCleaner Production Assessment (CPA)Environmental Management Accounting (EMA)Environmental Management Systems (EMS)Environmentally Sound Technology (EST)Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)Only the coordinated implementation of all 5 tools ensures the success and sustainability of the changes introduced
13. 134 examples of Cleaner Production“…generation of pollutants can be reduced or eliminated by increasing efficiency in the use of raw materials, energy, water, and other resources.”“…a strategic issue for company long-range competitiveness.” Cagno et al. 2005
14. ResultsMost industries realized significant cost advantages to reducing pollution at sourceInternal rate of return: 77% (range: 1% - 433%)Investment return: 2.4 yrs (range: 0.1 – 11.7 yrs) Chemical manufacture segment realized even greater savings by recycling, but pollution reduction efforts were also cost saving
