The Global Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Fund is a catalytic funding mechanism that supports projects that aim to create enabling environments for the uptake and mainstreaming of Ecosystem-based Adaptation to climate change.All proposed projects requesting funding must clearly contribute to one of the Global EbA Fund Strategic Objectives as well as fall under a maximum of two of the three action pillars.
Projects must not focus primarily on field implementation in the scope of the proposal. Field interventions are allowed if clearly justified. Global EbA Fund grants range from USD 50,000 to USD 250,000, with an encouraged duration of up to 24 months.Overall, while the Fund’s strategic objectives define the overarching aim and direction for the projects – the “What” – the action pillars focus on “How” these can be reached within the scope of the Fund.
WORTH
- Grants will be in the range of USD 50,000 to USD 250,000.
- The Fund encourages project durations of up to 24 months, but may consider up to 36 months. Additional justification is required for projects seeking longer than 24 months.
ELIGIBILITY
Projects may have a global, thematic, regional and/or country-specific focus.

The Fund seeks diverse applicants with relevant experience and local partnerships and presence.
