The Global EbA provides seed capital for catalytic and innovative approaches to ecosystem-based adaptation, a practice often referred to as nature-based solutions for climate adaptation.
The 5th Call for Proposals for the Fund has now officially launched, with a deadline set for the 28 April 2023.
Following the experience of the Fund over the last two years and the first four cohorts, some important changes have been made to streamline the application process.
First, the Fund will be replacing its two-stage application process, in which successful concept stage applicants were invited to submit a full proposal, with one single-stage application.
Second, the Fund now includes three new Action Pillars. Previously, applicants would align their proposed interventions with one of three Strategic Objectives. In addition to this, projects must now clearly indicate their relevance to a maximum of two of three new Action Pillars (see Grants Procedure Manual).
Third and final, we are excited to announce that alongside the general EbA project proposals track, the Global EbA Fund is introducing a track for thematic project submissions beginning with “EbA in Urban Environments”. All other aspects of the application, as well as two cut-off dates a year, remain the same. More information is available on How to Apply.
You can submit an application to the Fund here.
