Gabon participates in the GEF-8 Sustainable Cities Integrated Program (SCIP) through the Grand Libreville metropolitan area, advancing integrated planning, climate resilience, and nature-positive urban development. As one of Africa’s most forested countries—with exceptional biodiversity and extensive coastal and riverine ecosystems—Gabon faces growing urban pressures linked to rapid demographic change, infrastructure gaps, and vulnerability to flooding and erosion. Through GEF-8 SCIP and the GPSC Global Knowledge Platform, Grand Libreville is strengthening territorial planning, expanding green and blue infrastructure, restoring waterways and urban parks, and developing public-goods knowledge products to guide resilient growth. These efforts support the creation of investment-ready pipelines that integrate decarbonized infrastructure, circular economy measures, and nature-based solutions. Gabon’s leadership in environmental stewardship, combined with its emerging urban transformation agenda, brings important insights to the global GEF network—especially for cities seeking to balance expansion with ecological preservation.
