The date of the call is preliminary and may be revised. The call description will continue to be revised and made more precis until the call opens for applications.
There is still time to respond to the impending crises resulting from climate change and the loss of biodiversity. To enable a sustainable climate transformation, significant financial resources need to be mobilised while countering capital flows that hinder this transformation.
This may require changes to policies, regulations, and the behaviour of market participants. Conditions regarding legislation, norms, risk assessments, allocation of responsibilities, and market conditions may also need to be updated. Several questions may need to be addressed in parallel and at multiple levels simultaneously – local, regional, national, and global. Changes may need to be coordinated within and between different sectors of society and developed and implemented both in the Global North and the Global South.
The purpose of this call is to leverage new knowledge to enable and promote financing and investment patterns for a sustainable climate transformation. Funded projects are expected to generate, expand, and implement new knowledge in collaboration with relevant societal actors, using a holistic approach. Knowledge and practices developed in the projects are to be based on collaboration among researchers from different disciplines and with relevant societal actors outside of academia.
