Global EbA Fund (IUCN and UNEP)

The Global EbA Fund is a catalytic funding mechanism for ecosystem-based adaptation, managed jointly by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the UN Environment Programme and financed by Germany's International Climate Initiative. It issues small-size grants of up to USD 250,000 and medium-size grants of up to USD 500,000 for innovative projects that remove barriers to scaling ecosystem-based adaptation in ODA-eligible countries, with priority for least developed countries and small island developing states. Universities, research institutes, NGOs, community and Indigenous Peoples' organisations and private firms may apply; direct government funding is excluded.
