Governance

The NBI Global Resource Centre receives financial support from the  Global Environment Facility (GEF) Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF). The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) serves as the GEF Implementing Agency for this funding and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) leads the Project Management Unit, which is responsible for the coordinated delivery of the NBI Centre’s activities.

IISD provides technical expertise, facilitates dialogues, consults on individual requests, commissions and delivers research, and manages the Centre’s communications and outreach. Prior to the foundation’s closure, the NBI Centre also received seed funding from the MAVA Foundation.
