The call for proposals aims to foster inclusive climate entrepreneurship by supporting organisations in selected countries (see listed below) to attract and empower diverse entrepreneurs. Inclusive climate entrepreneurship ensures that individuals from diverse and at-risk communities have equal opportunities to participate in and benefit from climate innovation.
At-risk communities are groups or individuals who already experience inequality, which is exacerbated by climate-related risks.
This includes women, gender minorities, children and young people, elderly people, people with disabilities, members of minority groups, indigenous peoples,
refugees, migrants, people living in extreme poverty.
The goal is to enhance the participation of at-risk communities, facilitate the development of innovative climate solutions, and support minority-led teams in launching successful start-ups.
This initiative seeks to drive systemic change in the climate innovation sector, ensuring that solutions are equitable and inclusive, ultimately contributing to climate justice.
There is an available grant size between 10,000 and 20,000 EUR per partner organisation.

Angola, Cape Verde, Colombia, Egypt, Fiji, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam.
