About the Grant
This grant supports two key areas: loss and damage management and implementing Nature-Based Solutions (NbS). The funding focuses on enhancing local capacities in Zambia and Mauritius to address climate challenges. The loss and damage component aims to develop methodologies for local-level climate impact assessments and create actionable plans for adaptation and resilience. The NbS component seeks to address urban heat, flooding, and coastal hazards through innovative ecosystem-based approaches, providing both environmental and economic benefits. Projects will focus on scalable models, financial frameworks, and stakeholder engagement to overcome barriers to NbS implementation. The funding is part of a three-year Danish contribution supporting UNEP-CCC’s work in urban areas. The grant duration is 12 months, with a total budget of USD 250,000, divided equally between the two target countries.
