G-STIC CLIMATE ACTION PROGRAMME: €15,88 MILLION SUBSIDIES
Submit your project concept by 13:00 CEST, 2 June 2022
Is implementing and upscaling climate solutions in developing countries something you’ve been working on? Do you have a project that aims to strengthen the implementation of climate policies, strategies, regulations and action plans in developing countries?
The Government of Flanders is providing €15,88 million in subsidies for the second project call of the G-STIC Climate Action Programme in 2022. These subsidies are meant for both demonstration projects as well as dissemination and capacity building projects implemented by Flemish organisations in developing countries.
The project concept call phase of the G-STIC Climate Action Programme will take place from 18 May to 2 June 2022. You can submit your concept proposal by 13:00 CEST on 2 June 2022. The submitted concepts will be screened and the applicants will be given feedback. This can then be taken into account in the further development of the project. This step is not mandatory.

Project objectives
To be eligible for financial support in the G-STIC Climate Action Programme, projects must directly and explicitly aim at supporting adaptation and/or mitigation actions in developing countries.
Adaptation projects
Projects that aim at reducing the vulnerability of human or natural systems to both existing and expected climate change impacts by preserving or strengthening resilience through increased ability to adapt to shocks and variability, better absorption of the stresses caused by climate change and/or limiting exposure to it.
Mitigation projects
Projects that contribute to stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, to a level that avoids dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system by promoting efforts to either reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions or enhance greenhouse gas storage.
Focusing on 7 sectors with a high impact on climate change
Projects must focus on areas where climate-related solutions can be expected to have maximal impact, preferably in one or more of the following seven sectors.
Agriculture
Biodiversity
Education & Research
Energy
Environmental Policy
Transport
Water & Sanitation

Project types
Dissemination and/or capacity building projects
Dissemination projects focus on the dissemination and/or roll out of research and/or policy results. Capacity building projects focus on strengthening knowledge, skills and/or resources. Projects can also combine these dissemination and capacity building aspects. The maximum subsidy awarded to any individual project is €250,000 (not exceeding 85% of the total project cost).
Demonstration projects
Demonstration projects focus on the demonstration and/or upscaling of market-ready innovative solutions. The maximum subsidy awarded to any individual project is €2,500,000 (not exceeding 60% of the total project cost).
