Funding, News and Announcements

The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) recently announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind US$2 million grant program, EJ4Climate, to support environmental justice and climate resilience for underserved, vulnerable communities, and Indigenous communities across North America.

The CEC is now accepting grant applications for projects and cooperative agreements to be funded under the EJ4Climate grant program.

For this grant cycle, the CEC is calling for initiatives that:

• Support community resilience to climate change and climate-related impacts;
• Yield tangible, equitable benefits for local communities by addressing or adapting to climate change impacts;
• Consider local knowledge and transform that knowledge into an innovative action or solution; and
• Build partnerships that respond to community-identified challenges.
• Eligible applicants include non-profit and non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, community-based associations, tribal nations, and Indigenous Peoples and communities.
