Fondo Mundial para el Medio Ambiente (GEF)


Explanation:
El Fondo Mundial para el Medio Ambiente (GEF).
El Fondo Global para el Medio Ambiente (Global Environmental Facility: GEF) fue creado en 1990 para canalizar financiamientos con el fin de enfrentar los llamados "problemas ambientales globales": el del cambio climático, la destrucción de biodiversidad, el agujero en la capa de ozono y la contaminación de aguas internacionales.

Aunque también usen la palabra Global, yo utilizaría Mundial, ya que global se considera un calco del inglés.
