The Sustainable Land Fund 2 (SLF 2) is a targeted EUR 350 million impact investment fund supporting projects in sustainable agriculture and forestry globally. Building on the success of Mirova’s Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Fund, this successor Fund seeks to continue increase climate adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity protection, community inclusion and gender equality. The Fund aims to improve the environment and well-being of vulnerable populations, including smallholder farmers and women in emerging markets. Project activities include mobilizing private sector capital to finance impactful companies adopting sustainable land management practices. The Fund intends to finance over 30 projects benefiting 100,000 farmers and workers, reaching a minimum of 30% women. Also, the Fund aims to demonstrate its capacity to mobilize capital at scale to drive longer-term sustainable financing in the sector.

This project aims to achieve more equal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for women, adolescents and children, especially those in vulnerable or marginalized situations. The project will be implemented in partnership with Avocats sans frontières Canada. The main activities are 1) technical and material support for mobile outreach and delocalized health services, 2) training for primary health care providers, including community and outreach health care providers, particularly in family planning and the prevention/management of gender-based violence, 3) awareness-raising among women and adolescent girls on the concepts of good sexual health practices, and 4) technical assistance to institutions and organizations in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of SRHR policies and programs. The project will reach more than 1,151,983 women and adolescents directly and 5,010,826 people indirectly.

The “Our Collective Futures” project is an Indigenous-designed and governed project that aims to strengthen the climate resilience of Indigenous Peoples in the Indo-Pacific through Indigenous-led climate action. Peer-to-peer learning between First Nations in Canada and abroad seeks to contribute to enhanced awareness and capacity to develop and implement climate solutions and increased access to these solutions for Indigenous Peoples, in particular women and youth. The project equips Indigenous Peoples to organize, strategize, and lead actions at the local, regional, and international levels that address climate change and biodiversity. Strengthened partnerships and co-developed tools, strategies and guidelines for climate action aim to increase the use of gender-responsive nature-based solutions. These solutions will benefit climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation. The project centers the self-determined priorities and needs of Indigenous Peoples with regards to climate and biodiversity action.

The project aims to build on local partner Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact’s (AIPP) ongoing efforts to enhance knowledge-sharing and capacity-building among Indigenous Peoples and their active participation in decision-making related to conservation and climate action. The project aligns with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Project activities include: (1) convening knowledge circles for Indigenous Peoples on Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Indigenous governance as climate and biodiversity solutions; (2) identifying guidelines, tools and actions that enable Indigenous communities to participate in and lead climate action; and (3) supporting peer-to-peer knowledge sharing workshops between First Nations women and youth and Indigenous women and youth from Malaysia and Thailand to empower Indigenous women and promote climate leadership in implementing climate and biodiversity solutions.

This project funds new United Nations Junior Professional Officers (JPO) positions under the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). Funding new JPO positions creates opportunities for young professional Canadians to gain valuable experience working in key areas of the UN, including the Secretariat.

April 2025 - Global food insecurity is rising at an increasing rate, exacerbated by conflict, climate change and rising inflation. Rigorous and reliable food security analysis is critical to ensuring humanitarian decision makers can use resources effectively.

With GAC’s support, the Global Strategic Programme of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) initiative, hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), helps to provide the humanitarian sector with the best possible food security analysis upon which to base their decisions, to help ensure needs-based policy and programming. Governments, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations, and civil society and humanitarian sector actors use the IPC’s classification and analytical approach to collaboratively determine the severity and magnitude of country-specific acute and chronic food insecurity and acute malnutrition. These determinations are made according to internationally-recognized evidence-based standards and using

This grant represents Canada’s institutional support to the Fund for responding to loss and damage (FRLD). The FRLD uses these funds and other donors’ funding to provide financial assistance to developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. This includes addressing both economic and non-economic losses caused by extreme weather events and slow-onset events, such as sea-level rise and desertification. The FRLD operates under the guidance of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Project activities of this project include: (1) providing financial assistance to developing countries to help them respond to climate-related emergencies, intermediate or long-term recovery, reconstruction or rehabilitation, and displacement, relocation, or migration caused by temporary and permanent loss and damage. Financial support to developing countries also includes actions to address slow onset events, develop
