Description: 

The Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge is a first-of-its-kind granting mechanism that supports activities designed to address gender-based violence and environmental linkages in environmental and climate-related programmes and generate evidence on promising interventions.=

In 2025, the RISE grants challenge seeks to fund applications that embed gender-based violence risk mitigation in environmental projects working with or led by communities within and/or around marine and/or terrestrial Indigenous-managed lands, protected areas, and lands conserved using other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).
