About the Organization

Established in 2009, the Belmont Forum is a partnership of funding organizations, international science councils, and regional consortia committed to the advancement of transdisciplinary science. Forum operations are guided by the Belmont Challenge, a vision document that encourages:

International transdisciplinary research providing knowledge for understanding, mitigating and adapting to global environmental change.

Forum members and partner organizations work collaboratively to meet this Challenge by issuing international calls for proposals, committing to best practices for open data access, and providing transdisciplinary training.  To that end, the Belmont Forum is also working to enhance the broader capacity to conduct transnational environmental change research through its e-Infrastructure and Data Management initiative.

About the Grant

The Belmont Forum is pleased to announce the launch of a Collaborative Research Action “Tropical Forests: Global Implications and Pressing Actions” (FORESTS 2024) in partnership with the G20.

The CRA FORESTS 2024 aims to coordinate actions and projects with a transdisciplinary approach to develop innovative solutions to the challenges faced in tropical forest regions, Amazonia being the largest and most populated. Acknowledging the differences in governance, cultural diversity, and territorial configuration, this CRA spans tropical forests worldwide that face similar challenges.

This call for proposals recognises the growing threats to those ecosystems and their inhabitants, such as climate change, deforestation, unregulated agroindustry and land conversion, illegal activities, pollution, and environmental/climate injustices. In the global tropical forest regions such as the Amazon, Central America, Asia, and Africa, the well-being and survival of indigenous peoples and local communities depend on the local ecosystem under pressure. The challenges tropical forest regions face vary depending on governance, local ecology, cultural diversity, and territorial configuration.

Call areas:

Proposals submitted to this CRA should encompass elements from at least two of the three areas listed below.

• AREA 1: Reduce deforestation, and promote sustainable development and locally-led economies
• AREA 2: Ecosystem Function, Connectivity, and Climate Change Science
• AREA 3: Environmental Justice and Governance

How to Apply

All call documents, including guidelines for applicants and national/regional requirements, and the submission portal can be found at the Belmont Forum Grant Operations website: http://bfgo.org.
