The GSMA Innovation Fund for Climate Resilience and Adaptation 2.0 seeks start-ups, small and medium enterprises and social enterprises leveraging digital technology to deliver climate resilience and adaptation solutions to and with low-income and vulnerable populations in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, Bolivia, Colombia and Guatemala, Albania and Moldova.

Resilience and adaptation solutions should use innovative digital technology, especially mobile, to create a more resilient future where communities can adapt to, anticipate and absorb climate shocks. A higher priority will be given to applications focusing on one or more of the following digital solution areas:

Improving climate resilience and adaptation and focusing on vulnerable populations and ecosystems based in coastal areas, small islands, or urban settings.
Tackling challenges posed by increasingly frequent extreme weather events such as extreme drought, flooding, high winds, wildfire and higher risks of land slips and erosion etc. (with the exclusion of early warning systems)
Nature-based solutions, such as regenerative agriculture, sustainable forests, and coastal areas and wetlands that strengthen biodiversity, or sustainable consumption and production, including reduced food loss and waste, sustainable fisheries that strengthen biodiversity, and air pollution management.

Successful projects will receive grant funding of between GBP 100,000 and GBP 250,000 over 15 to 18 months, plus tailored technical assistance.

Now open for applications from Tuesday, 14 March – Tuesday, 16 May 2023

Amazing find! The only problem I see is this: "Applicants must be an existing entity registered and operating in the country of project implementation at the time of application (whether domestic or foreign-owned or a joint venture)."

Generally, You'll need a fiscal partner, this could be a national park or non-profit organization like Nature conservancy or WCS etc.
