Is implementing and upscaling climate solutions in developing countries something you’ve been working on? Do you have a project that aims to strengthen the implementation of climate policies, strategies, regulations and action plans in developing countries? You can submit your concept proposal for the G-STIC Climate Action Programme.
The Government of Flanders provides 15,88 million euros for the second project call of the G-STIC Climate Action Programme. These subsidies are meant for both demonstration projects as well as dissemination & capacity building projects implemented by Flemish organisations in developing countries.
Objectives
To be eligible for financial support in the G-STIC Climate Action Programme, projects must directly and explicitly aim at supporting adaptation and/or mitigation actions in developing countries.
Adaptation Projects: Projects that aim at reducing the vulnerability of human or natural systems to both existing and expected climate change impacts by preserving or strengthening resilience through increased ability to adapt to shocks and variability, better absorption of the stresses caused by climate change and/or limiting exposure to it.
Mitigation Projects: Projects that contribute to stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, to a level that avoids dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system by promoting efforts to either reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions or enhance greenhouse gas storage.
Sectors
Projects must focus on areas where climate-related solutions can be expected to have maximal impact, preferably in one or more of the following seven sectors.
Agriculture
Biodiversity
Education & Research
Energy
Environmental Policy
Transport
Water & Sanitation
Project Types
Dissemination and/or Capacity Building Projects: Dissemination projects focus on the dissemination and/or roll out of research and/or policy results. Capacity building projects focus on strengthening knowledge, skills and/or resources. Projects can also combine these dissemination and capacity building aspects.
Demonstration Projects: Demonstration projects focus on the demonstration and/or upscaling of market-ready innovative solutions.
