Deadline: 10 October 2021
Nominations are now open for the SCALE Creative Green Adaptation Award.
As communities around the globe face unprecedented challenges due to climate change, humanitarian and development practitioners are rapidly adapting the ways in which they deliver critical aid and programming.
SCALE wants the world to know about your good work! Tell them about your creative program innovations and adaptations and how they address climate change-related constraints and challenges in the sectors of agriculture, natural resource management (NRM), and off- and non-farm livelihoods.
Examples can include, but are not limited to:
- The introduction of new climate-smart approaches and technologies
- The provision of products or services that contribute to climate change adaptation or mitigation
- New approaches to create “green jobs”
- Adopting new digital technologies, apps or social media that support climate change goals
- New business strategies to support climate-friendly supply chains
- Innovative and inclusive strategies for data collection and monitoring
Prize Details
The winners of the Creative Green Adaptation Award will be selected by the SCALE Technical Committee, Donor Panel, and public voting in November alongside COP26 events. Winning approaches will be featured in a Spotlight Webinar in early December and documented in a technical brief. Winning adaptations will also be highlighted on the FSN page and newsletter to raise awareness about innovations that are being developed and the changemakers responsible for them.
