About Organisation
The Climate Intervention Environmental Impact Fund (CIEIF) supports investigators developing innovative approaches to address climate change. Its funding is specifically directed towards evaluating the potential environmental and social consequences of emerging climate-intervention technologies before or alongside small-scale field testing. The fund emphasises independent environmental impact assessment, predictive impact modelling and engagement with stakeholders who may be affected by proposed field tests. Its approach aims to help climate innovators identify risks, assess potential consequences and improve the quality of decision-making before new interventions are tested in real-world settings.
About the Grant
The Climate Intervention Environmental Impact Fund Grants 2026 support projects assessing the potential impacts of innovative climate-intervention technologies approaching small-scale field testing. The fund provides three grants of $75,000 each in the current application round. Funding is intended for environmental impact assessments, predictive impact modelling and engagement with potentially affected stakeholders. It does not fund general climate research, technology development or implementation of the field test itself. The next application deadline is 1 December 2026. Applicants should review the official guidelines and contact the fund manager before submitting a proposal.
Who can Apply?
The opportunity is intended for investigators and project teams working on climate-intervention technologies that are sufficiently developed to approach small-scale field testing. Proposed work must focus on at least one of the fund’s eligible activities: environmental impact assessment, predictive impact modelling or stakeholder engagement. International projects are considered, but applicants should review the fund’s guidance on international proposals and arrangements for receiving grant funds. Projects focused solely on renewable energy, climate adaptation, general emissions reduction or technology development are outside the stated scope. Applicants must be willing to publish the results of the supported assessment in a peer-reviewed journal or an independently reviewed public report.
How to Apply?
Review the official CIEIF website, guidelines for grant applicants and information about eligible activities. Prepare a concise proposal explaining the proposed climate-intervention field test, the potential environmental and social impacts, the assessment or modelling activities, stakeholder engagement and the proposed use of the $75,000 grant. Include the personnel information, relevant experience, budget and other details required by the guidelines. Contact the fund manager before sending the completed application, following the official submission instructions.
