Project Description
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support Communities of Practice (CoP) that work in the area of climate adaptation or disaster resilience to build the knowledge base and capacity of their members (e.g., local practitioners, community leaders, and decision makers) to apply an equity lens to their activities in order to address the needs or challenges of communities that are disproportionately at risk from climate hazards or other disasters. The GRP is particularly interested in supporting CoPs whose members engage with communities at the local level.
