The Climate Intervention Environmental Impact Fund (CIEIF) provides funding for researchers and innovators worldwide who are developing new technologies aimed at helping reverse the effects of climate change. The program aims to support studies related to small-scale field experiments of climate intervention technologies, particularly those focused on assessing environmental impacts, modeling potential future environmental effects, or engaging with stakeholders and communities affected by the project.
The fund seeks to encourage responsible and transparent innovation in climate technologies while ensuring a clear understanding of the environmental and social impacts of these technologies before they are implemented on a large scale. Applicants are required to submit a research proposal explaining how the funding will be used to conduct accurate environmental assessments, build predictive environmental models, or carry out stakeholder engagement activities related to the field experiment.
- Applications are open to researchers and institutions worldwide.
- Applicants may include:
- Independent researchers or scientists.
- Universities and research institutions.
- Non-profit organizations.
- Teams developing innovative climate technologies.
- The project must be related to a field experiment involving a climate intervention technology.
- The project must focus on one of the following areas:
- Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
- Predictive environmental impact modeling.
- Stakeholder and community engagement related to the project.
- The proposal must demonstrate that the proposed technology has reached a stage suitable for field experimentation.
- Applicants must reference prior research or studies supporting the feasibility and scalability of the technology.
- Applicants must identify consultants or independent experts who may assist with environmental impact analysis or modeling.
- A clear project budget explaining how the grant funds will be used must be included.
- Applicants must commit to publishing the project results in a peer-reviewed journal or externally reviewed report.
- Funding of up to 75,000 USD per project.
- Expert support and consultation from the fund team during project implementation.
- Possibility of receiving additional funding in future years for successful projects.
- Opportunity to publish research results in scientific journals or peer-reviewed reports.
- Enhanced opportunities for collaboration with international experts and institutions in the field of climate technologies.
- Contribution to developing innovative solutions to address global climate change.
