Climate Adaptation grants

Funding for resilience, flood defence, drought and climate-proofing infrastructure. Backed by the Green Climate Fund and Adaptation Fund, the World Bank and regional banks, the EU, and national adaptation programmes. Listed below are the open climate adaptation grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.

Adaptation money is overwhelmingly development finance: the Green Climate Fund, the Adaptation Fund, the World Bank and the regional banks, bilateral aid programmes, and health funders including Wellcome and the Gates Foundation on the health side. Awards are usually made to or through an organisation registered in the country where the work happens, so partnership structure tends to matter more to eligibility than technical merit does.

This page lists open climate adaptation grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 68 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is climate adaptation work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.

29 distinct funders are publishing the climate adaptation grants on this page. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls, which is why the listing names the funder on every opportunity it opens.

Geographic coverage on this page spans GLOBAL, EUROPE, AFRICA. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.

16 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating funder remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
