Bangladesh DFCD Challenge event
The Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) ‘Scalable Climate Solutions Challenge’ is looking for potentially scalable solutions in Bangladesh. Join us on April 28 to learn more in an interactive discussion.
About this event
The Dutch Fund for Climate and Development’s (DFCD) Scalable Climate Solutions Challenge is looking for business models and projects that help improve food security, fresh water and sanitation in Bangladesh. The coastal zone of Bangladesh is home to significant aquatic as well as terrestrial ecosystems, which the population has found ways of living and using in harmony with nature rather than destroying it.
One project will be provided with a development contribution of up to € 350K from the existing DFCD Origination facility, get a chance to present their project at COP26 in Glasgow and become eligible for larger support from DFCD. Is your organisation interested in this Challenge or do you know a project that fits the needs of the local communities and ecosystems in Bangladesh? We’d love for you and your stakeholders to join this event.
