Deadline: 31-May-2024
The 2024 Future Fund Application cycle is now open and eligible governments are invited to apply for projects, secondments and/or travel support to attend either Climate Week NYC or COP29. If you are from a developed economy region, Climate Group invites you to apply to host secondments through a separate form provided in the pack.
The Future Fund is supporting developing states and regions as they look to cut emissions and adapt to a changing climate. Every year they’re able to connect governments and fund projects that make a real difference on the ground.
Themes
- They accept applications for projects related to at least one of the following key themes that align with Under2 Coalition priorities:
- Climate change mitigation. This could include developing long-term decarbonisation plans for the state or region, creating measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) systems, installing renewable energy systems, reducing methane emissions (and/or other short lived climate pollutants) or building sustainable local transport systems.
- Adaptation and resilience to climate change. This could include support in developing local adaptation and resilience plans, creating systems or infrastructure that reduces local risks from extreme weather or supporting local livelihoods that are likely to be damaged by climate change impacts (e.g. in agriculture).
- Effective climate finance. This could include projects that help governments to understand and navigate different ways of raising revenue to tackle climate issues, learning about new sources of climate finance and how to access them or helping to explain the urgency of climate finance in developing economy regions.
- Community empowerment and just transition. This could include projects aimed at supporting local livelihoods, finding ways to represent the views and priorities of groups that are likely to be affected most by climate change or developing green jobs that meet the needs to a low-carbon future powered by renewable energy. equity and prosperity for all.
Eligibility Criteria
- State and regional governments that are members of the Under2 Coalition and whose region has a GDP per capita of less than 20,000 USD are eligible to apply for support through the Future Fund.
