Ocean Resilience Innovation Challenge 2023

Nippon Foundation Strategic Needs Fellowship

Deadline: 28-Feb-23

The Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA) is launching its 2023 global competition which identifies and nurtures financially innovative, community-led projects that build coastal resilience and reduce ocean risk.

ORRAA is inviting proposals  from individual organisations or consortiums across public, private, local civil society, international NGOs and academia. Both experienced implementers as well as start-ups, hubs and accelerators from the Global North and South are encouraged to apply.

They are looking for innovative and scalable finance and insurance products that help drive investment in coastal natural capital that reduce ocean risk and make vulnerable coastal people more  resilient. The initiatives must also  include a focus on gender, equity and human rights, and protect or enhance biodiversity

ORIC aims to strengthen the solutions’ potential. The ultimate aim is to help them build the resilience and adaptive capacity of the communities and regions most exposed to ocean risk. As more solutions are identified and supported, ORIC will continue to play a role as an incubator to accelerate innovative and scalable community-led enterprises. It will also create a community of learning across the solutions and help build a cohort of coastal resilience leaders around the world.
