Distribution across the four IKI funding areas
The applications are thematically distributed across the four IKI funding areas as follows:
- Over 54% focus on adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
- Nearly 20% are dedicated to the conservation of biological diversity.
- Just over 18% are allocated to the funding area of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
- The remaining 7% of total applications are designated for preserving and restoring natural carbon sinks.
Further procedure
Following the expiration of the deadline, the submitted proposals undergo an extensive selection process, which may take several months. Once the selection process is finalised, all organisations that submitted applications will be promptly notified of the outcomes.
