Pre-announcement of the BiodivClim Call for proposals

In September 2019 the BiodivERsA Network will announce a BiodivClim Call for proposals entitled „Biodiversity and climate change”, covering the following topics:

• Consequences of climate change on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people
• Climate-biodiversity feedback processes
• Potential of nature-based solutions for mitigating and adapting to climate change
• Synergies and trade-offs between policies on biodiversity, climate and other relevant sectors, and the role of agents of change

Researchers are encouraged to start discussing possible projects with prospective partners. The call will require that projects are submitted by international consortia with partners in at least 3 countries (the list of countries which have shown preliminary interest in participating in the Call is provided in the pre-announcement). The national/regional eligibility criteria will be defined by each participating funding agency.

The anticipated deadline for pre-proposals is 5^th of November 2019 and 10^th of April 2020 for full proposals. The projects will be selected in the late 2020.

For details please see the website, where a Partner Search Tool is available.

Please note that this pre-announcement is for information purposes only. It does not create any obligation for the BiodivERsA consortium nor for any of the participating funding organisations. The official call announcement, to be published later, shall prevail.
