Climate Action Engagement Fund

Description

1) Objective

The second call for proposals under the Climate Action Engagement Fund is now open! They aim to provide financial support to organisations and groups promoting just transition and climate justice in the European Union. Types of activities include:

• Raising awareness, critical understanding, and public engagement about climate justice and just transition.
• Mobilising people in Europe to act for climate justice and just transition.
• Engaging with decision-makers in order to drive change.

Priorities are:

• Cross-cutting priorities around a Just Transition: for instance, promoting an intersectional approach to climate justice, connecting climate and social justice, fostering stronger solidarity between people from the Global North and Global South.
• Just transition, with a focus on housing & energy: strengthening the link between climate, social and housing justice.
• A European Budget for a Socially Just Green Transition: bringing awareness to and fostering a public debate around the upcoming EU budget negotiations.

2) Eligibility

They want to support small to medium organisations and groups based in the EU. This includes those that usually work with small budgets, have small teams, or find it hard to get grants or core funding. They strongly encourage organisations and groups led by women/non-binary, youth, frontline communities, people with disability or people with a marginalised background or identity to apply.

3) Location

Actions must take place in EU member states.

4) Budget

Grants may range up to €100,000.

5) Application

You have until 23:59 CET on the 26th of January 2026 to submit.
