The Global Environment Facility (GEF) funds small grants for climate change adaptation and mitigation. These grants cannot be used to aid people displaced by climate change. They can only be used for environmental projects. So, if your aim is to aid people directly impacted by climate change, then you need to somehow develop a project focused on the environment that also helps the people in need.
These grants are designed for small group implementation and are supposed to be linked to community involvement. However, non-profits can undertake the grant projects, provided there is also community involvement. Applications are processed through national agencies in the project-site state.
As ‘Culture of Climate Change’ develops, we will research the outcomes of GEF grants. If you have been involved in a GEF climate change project, send a comment and let us know how it went.
