The Global Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Fund supports catalytic and innovative projects that aim to create enabling environments for the uptake and mainstreaming of ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change. Two funding tracks are available: general EbA project proposals track and a thematic EbA project proposals track focused on Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge in Ecosystem-based Adaptation. For the thematic track, Indigenous Peoples Organizations are strongly encouraged to apply. If an organization is faced with capacity and due diligence limitations, the principal applicant should be a national or local NGO; INGOs can apply if they have a legal and operational presence in the country of implementation. Indigenous Peoples Organization must also be a project partner and a sub-grantee, and the project must include internal capacity-building. For all tracks, applications from and partnerships with local/community organizations are strongly encouraged. Government partners will not be eligible for direct funding. Projects may have a global, thematic, regional and/or country-specific focus. For projects with a country-specific focus, one or more countries that are eligible for official development assistance (ODA) must be targeted. Applications must be submitted in English.


Maximum Amount: up to US$250,000

Submission Deadline: 15 September, 2023


Relevant material is attached herewith.

The Global EbA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) Fund was established to provide rapid and targeted support through seed capital for innovative approaches to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). The Global EbA Fund grants should be complementary to and add value to existing work, by filing a gap in an existing project, enhancing the impact of an investment in EbA, contributing to policy upscaling of EbA, and/or serving to develop a larger proposal to another funding mechanism. The Global EbA will make contribution from USD50,000 to USD250,000 to selected projects that target one or more countries which are eligible for official development assistance (ODA) or global or thematic projects.
