ICI calls for €20-25M project applications for Colombia

The International Climate initiative, opened a call for €20-25M projects. It will fund one project in this call with relevance for landscape restoration.

Deadline: 3 September 2024 - the deadline has passed.
Colombia

The call has two priorities and will finance one project for each.

One priority is about 'Landscape-scale restoration as an economic and multifunctional nature-based solution for peace', which may have a bearing on WildLabs topics.

For completeness sake, the other priority is 'Roll-out of renewable energies and economic diversification for a just coal phase-out'.

Eligible applicants are consortia of at least one 'lead organization' which can be a German or international organization, and at least one implementing organization, which can be an NGO, university or research insitute, an internation intergovernmental organization, a UN organization or program, or a private company.

Personal remarks :

  • Admittedly, for WildLabs users and their organizations, this opportunity may be a bit far fetched. However, this is a huge grant, and perhaps worth some creative thinking and networking.
  • This is very much a high risk - high reward competition
  • The paperwork of applying is likely to be huge, but the first part of the competition consists of a project outline rather than a full application.

All information in this post is provided as is. Requirements and conditions apply. Read the call and guidelines carefully.
