Results of the fourth project call in 2024
To support countries in the Global South in the fight against climate change, the Government of Flanders contributes to international climate financing. Since 2021, the Government of Flanders has launched four consecutive calls within the Flanders International Climate Action Programme for adaptation and mitigation projects in countries in the Global South. These projects enhance the implementation of climate policies, strategies, regulations, action plans and technology.
Through the Flanders International Climate Action Programme, projects are supported that demonstrate technological solutions, disseminate knowledge and information, and initiate capacity building. These projects must be carried out in countries in the Global South, with a Flemish organization taking the lead.
