Call for Proposals Decarbonisation and Climate Resilience in the Eastern Partnership - EU4ClimateResilience



The Multi-Donor Action “EU4ClimateResilience” is jointly co-financed by the European Union and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), and implemented by GIZ and OECD. EU4ClimateResilience is implemented as part of the BMUV-funded project ‘Promoting Green Deal Readiness in the Eastern Partnership Countries’ (PROGRESS).

The overall objective of this Call for Proposals is to enable local authorities in the Eastern Partnership countries to implement concrete climate adaptation projects as part of their SECAPs under the Covenant of Mayors and thus bridge the gap between the SECAPs and their practical implementation.

Projects should demonstrate the benefits of climate adaptation, including on healthy ecosystems and biodiversity with a focus on nature-based solutions and should also contribute to making national authorities more aware of, and responsive to, the advantages of stronger involvement of local authorities in policy domains that have a direct impact on them.

Demonstration projects shall be implemented in cities or municipalities that are CoM East signatories and have at least submitted a SECAP. Applicants must apply for the Call for Proposals together with at least one, and maximum two co-applicants and have a non-profit status. 

The interested applicants should collect the full documents and application form from the GIZ project – marin.cernea@giz.de
