Aim: The challenges created by climate change can only be adequately addressed through international cooperation. The SNSF is acting on this and joining a Canadian-led call.
The SNSF is joining the International Initiative for Research on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation. The initiative, led by the Government of Canada and supported by research funders from Brazil, Germany, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, will leverage international expertise to tackle global challenges caused by climate change and to further the design and implementation of co-producted adaptation and mitigation strategies for those groups most impacted by climate change.
This call is aimed at funding transformative research that has the potential to deliver game-changing impacts. The Swiss contribution is set at 2.6 million francs.
Amount:
Projects should be completed within 3 – 5 years. One-year, no cost extensions may be available.
Eligibility: Project teams are expected to include expertise across various disciplines and sectors, as appropriate, including academia, government, not-for-profit organisations, communities and private industry. The integration of team members from vulnerable groups is also a requirement.
The composition of Project Teams includes:
