Themes – VCA

Climate Finance

Climate finance refers to local, national or transnational financing that seeks to support mitigation and adaptation actions to address climate change. Through our stories, we aim to highlight the importance of climate finance in the climate change space.

Collaboration and Partnerships

VCA fosters new collaborations and partnerships between civil society organisations and local innovative solution providers through mutual capability strengthening for co-creating alternative climate solutions and storytelling.

Droughts and Floods

Droughts, floods, extreme temperatures and prolonged dry spells threaten the livelihoods of those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Listen to our voices as they share how they are impacted, their local solutions and calls to action.

Gender and Climate

Gender is affected by climate change

Locally Shaped Climate Solutions

Our Voices aim to amplify climate solutions that are locally (co-)developed, shaped or supported by citizens and civil society in a way that effectively and appropriately addresses their fundamental rights and needs.

The Small Grants Mechanism (NLGF)

The VCA alliance set up a small grants mechanism also known as the Next Level Grant Facility in its implementing countries to quickly respond to emergencies, unforeseen activities or emerging opportunities that contribute to the overall TOC of the VCA.

Water and climate

Access to safe and sufficient drinking water is a human right. Communities that are especially affected by climate change face many challenges regarding water management. Our stories highlight the importance of access to this precious resource.
