Reversing Environmental Degradation in Africa and Asia (REDAA) catalyses research, innovation and action to help people and nature thrive together.
REDAA grants fund research-to-action initiatives that are locally led and help both people and nature to thrive in a changing climate. Projects can be focused on improving evidence, using new tools or strengthening governance systems to support actions that are nature positive, strengthen local livelihoods and tackle the impacts of climate change.
This is an exciting opportunity to improve how nature is nurtured, accessed, and used to effectively and equitable restore ecosystems and reverse environmental degradation.
REDAA runs until 2028. Through what it supports and the learning it shares and communicates, the programme will help policymakers, practitioners and people in business to have a better understanding of natural landscapes, prioritise more ambitious sustainable strategies and allocate the right financial and human resources to take action.
