The Adaptation Fund has approved $25.25 million in total grants for Chad and Togo to bolster climate resilience under the ECOVERSE project. Chad will receive $12.625 million, building on $25 million in support previously authorized by the Green Climate Fund in March 2026.
Why it matters
Securing international climate finance is essential for Chad, where authorities are currently working to mobilize $100 million in short-term funding to mitigate climate-related threats to community stability.
The $25.25 million authorization covers both nations equally, providing $12.625 million to each. This investment supplements the $25 million provided to Chad by the Green Climate Fund earlier this year.
The players
