Climate Challenge Innovation Fund for National RC/RC Societies in PfCC 1/ PfCC 2
This year the ‘Climate Challenge Innovations Fund” has been set up for small scale climate- related initiatives of National Societies. The majority of climate-related action plans should be implemented through integration into existing programmes with support from regular and newly found climate change related donors, however with this fund the Climate Centre provides a small opportunity to start implementing a few new and innovative activities to address the newly identified changing risks right away. The idea is for particularly innovative ideas to be learnt from and spread rapidly through out the Red Cross/Red Crescent. Projects selected will need to be open to documentation and sharing.
The small funds will cover climate-related micro projects with calls for proposals open to countries that have been involved in the Preparedness for Climate Change programme (phases 1 & 2).
Main topics:
Disaster Management
Climate change can act as a catalyst for enhanced disaster management.
Health and Care
Many national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies will be touched by the health implications of climate change.
Early warning early action
Routinely taking humanitarian action before a disaster or health emergency happens, making full use of scientific information on all timescales.
Advocacy
The Red Cross and Red Crescent never works in isolation. Partnerships are more important than ever in the context of global warming.
Communications
The global climate is changing and the past no longer explains the present.
Community risk reduction
The Red Cross and Red Crescent has traditionally focused on response. But now other aspects, including risk reduction, are also given priority.
Youth
Red Cross Red Crescent youth take action to reduce the impacts of climate change.
Getting started
The Red Cross Red Crescent has a growing body of experience working on addressing climate change. Here’s how to use it to get started.
