Climate Bridge Fund – Call for concept note under climate change window in Bangladesh
The Climate Bridge Fund (CBF) is a trust fund established by BRAC, with support from the government of Germany. It is an innovative, direct climate finance mechanism, which supports registered NGOs located in Bangladesh.
The Climate Bridge Fund has been set up to ‘bridge’ the financial gap – from short-term project funding to sustainable provision of services and infrastructure for climate-induced migrants. It will also enhance the sustainable livelihoods of climate migrants and their resilience to climate-related risks that may trigger further climate-induced migration.
