Global EbA Fund Medium-Size Grants 2026

Provides grants of up to USD 500,000 (₹4.17 crore) to organizations, including private sector companies, for innovative Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) projects globally, especially in ODA-eligible countries like India, focusing on scalability and policy impact.

The Global EbA Fund's Medium-Size Grants Call for Proposals invites innovative and collaborative approaches to advance Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) worldwide. This initiative aims to address systemic barriers to scalability, foster global learning, and contribute to policy dialogue around climate, biodiversity, land, and development priorities. The program seeks to strengthen enabling environments and embed EbA into national frameworks, encouraging proposals that unify strategic climate, biodiversity, land, and development agendas.

The call features priority topics including Innovative Finance Solutions for EbA, which supports partnerships with private sector actors to unlock private and blended capital, emphasizing the evolution of EbA practices into profitable, scalable business models. Another key area is EbA for Human Development and Security, focusing on integrating EbA into national and international security frameworks to achieve sustainable development outcomes in fragile and conflict-affected regions. The third topic, Interlinkages for people-nature-climate-land synergies, encourages non-governmental leadership to scale approaches that bridge biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction. Through these grants, the fund seeks to catalyze transformative shifts at a systemic level, influencing policy, addressing capacity gaps, and developing financing mechanisms to enhance resilience to climate change impacts globally.
