*New* Climate Funding Opportunity with CO2 Foundation (Due: 10/15/23)
Posted: 8/18/2023 (Funding)
The CO2 Foundation is excited to announce its second funding opportunity: Extreme weather and what to do about it.
As climate change introduces new risks to all sectors at all scales, societal stability faces emergent threats. Social, economic, and cultural stability requires both long-term investment in whole-of-society emissions reduction and short-term effective responses to extreme weather threats.
The program aims to distribute $25,000-$100,000 contributions to projects focused on the following goals:
• Sharing knowledge: Educate the public about the connections between extreme weather and climate change, risks their communities face, and resilience strategies.
• Enhancing stability: Develop academic and practical approaches to enhancing organizational and political stability in the face of climate-exacerbated disasters.
• Deploying strategically: Facilitate effective responses to increasingly frequent and intense extreme weather events.
And they expect to fund these types of activities:
• Conferences: Convening diverse practitioners–including organizational decision-makers, emergency managers, scholars, scientists, elected officials, and/or concerned citizens–to share their best efforts on these issues.
• Journalism: Reporting on extreme weather impacts and future risks, training journalists to effectively convey the connections between extreme weather events and climate change, and sharing community-scale and society-wide responses.
• Scholarship: Scholarly work on the connections between climate change and extreme weather, with a focus on short-term practical application.
They will prioritize applications received before October 15, 2023 from 501(c)3 organizations or organizations with nonprofit fiscal sponsorship. Please see their Grants page for more information about their grantmaking program.
Deadline: 10/15/2023
