Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Environments (RISE) 
2023 grants challenge call for proposals
The new RISE grants challenge call for proposals is now open!

In 2023, the RISE grants challenge seeks to fund applications that adapt evidence-based strategies to prevent, mitigate and respond to the risks of gender-based violence related to climate and conservation sectors, with a focus on climate change mitigation, nature-based solutions and natural climate solutions.

This year, we are accepting expressions of interest from over 100 countries.

Expressions of interest applications are due on 30 June 2023 by 11:59 PM EST.
Based on IUCN’s 2020 research on Gender-based violence and environment linkages: the violence of inequality, the Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge is a first-of-its-kind fund that supports activities designed to address gender-based violence and environmental linkages in environmental and climate-related programs and generate evidence on promising interventions. 

On the occasion of World Environment Day 2023, we invite you to join an information session to find out more about this round of RISE grants challenge funding and eligibility requirements and to receive detailed guidance on how to apply for grants.

Cross-sector partnerships.
Pioneering learning.
The Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge identifies and funds evidence-based strategies to address GBV in environment and climate-related programming. Funded by USAID and hosted by IUCN under AGENT’s GBV-ENV Center, RISE aims to build approaches that help close information and knowledge gaps in relation to programming that addresses GBV and environment linkages.
Learn. Act. Create change.
The GBV and Environment Linkages Center is hosted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) under its Advancing Gender in the Environment (AGENT) partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It works to close the knowledge gap on GBV-environment issues while mobilizing learning and forging collaborative action towards ending GBV and securing environmental sustainability.
Filling information gaps.
Making the case.
Tailored technical support.
Advancing Gender in the Environment (AGENT) is a collaboration between the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to increase the effectiveness of environment programming through the robust integration of gender considerations, while improving gender equality and women’s empowerment outcomes.
