be spent in first 2 years.
• Remainder provided for
informational purposes.
• Reallocation after 2 years

Further Work for GEF5
• Development of new GBI indicators
• Development of alternative GPI
• Options to include vulnerability index
• Build up new implementation rules
after model is agreed by Council, eg
possible third year reallocation
