The Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) initiative is pleased to announce that its first public call for concept notes will be launched in April 2022. CLARE supports research to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience to climate change and natural hazards across Africa and Asia-Pacific.
The first step will be a forthcoming call for concept notes aimed at identifying a short list of transdisciplinary teams motivated to conduct action-oriented research related to one (or more) of CLARE’s three research themes:
Understanding climate risk: research to improve our understanding of the risks associated with climate and natural hazards, by addressing gaps in the underpinning science.
Risk-informed early action: research to improve risk-informed anticipatory action to reduce humanitarian and extreme impacts of weather, climate variability and the compounding and cascading interaction of natural hazards.
Developing in a changing climate: research to inform development in a changing climate; action that builds resilience in the present climate and adapts to future climate.
CLARE seeks concept notes from teams that convene novel coalitions of actors — partnerships that include organizations that link research to action and may include universities, research institutions, non-governmental organizations, civil society groups, the private sector and knowledge-brokering organizations. Projects will also be expected to contribute to and participate in program-wide exchange and learning.
Opening date: April
