Closing Date: September 18, 2015.
The Cities and Climate Change
initiative will support high quality, demand driven, policy relevant action
research that engages local authorities, communities, and the private sector.
Research will help to meet the adaptation deficit in small to medium sized
cities or well defined subdivisions of large cities, where demographic pressure
and environmental stresses are particularly acute. Proposed solutions should
address climate risk and uncertainty, and inspire innovation in adaptation
strategies and technologies.
Proposed research must be
gender-sensitive and target one or more of the following themes:
1. "Hard solutions," for example,
developing, protecting, and adapting climate-ready infrastructure; innovative
WASH systems; the development and application of adaptation technologies.
2. "Soft solutions," for example,
innovative governance systems and planning approaches, fees for intensive
resource use; collaborative management of water resources and associated
infrastructure, services, and industries.
3. Research addressing climate and population
thresholds that threaten the sustainability of communities and industries,
influence behavioral change, and/or address barriers to adoption of adaptation
strategies and technologies.
Eligibility:
1. The proposed research must take place in one or
more of the following countries: Bangladesh, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia,
Ghana, India, Kenya, Mali, Namibia, Nepal, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa,
Tajikistan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
2. The proposed research must be led by a
research-oriented organization from academia, government, the private sector,
or civil society and be based in one of the eligible countries listed above.
3. Organizations from the United Nations system,
members of the Consortium of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), or
multilateral agencies are not eligible as lead organizations for the proposed
research, even when operating in a developing country, but can be included as
partners provided their budget share does not exceed 20%.
Duration: Up
to 36 months
