Updated 30/06/2025-Revised Guidelines for Applicants

The Eco Future Grant Programme, funded under the European Union Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA III), aims to enhance the impact of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change and biodiversity protection. The programme will provide CSOs with resources and expertise to develop innovative projects focused on climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and nature-based solutions to enhance climate resilience. 

The grant programme will follow a two-stage application process, providing funding ranging from USD 50,000 to 150,000 for selected projects. Projects must last between 12 to 18 months, focusing on climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and nature-based solutions. Applications must be submitted in English through the online application system (https://undptreco-cp.enquire.cloud/login). Applicants must be CSOs based in Türkiye. The deadline for applications is 1 August 2025, Friday, at 17:00 (local time).

The programme aims to create a broad impact by offering CSOs the opportunity to collaborate with local and international stakeholders. It also seeks to enhance civil society’s participation in policy and decision-making processes related to climate change and biodiversity, particularly at the local level.

As of 30 June 2025, a corrigendum has been introduced and the guidelines for applicants have been revised. Please refer to the corrigendum to follow the changes introduced and use the revised version of the guideline for your applications.
