BNCFF: Coastal NbS and Green-Gray Infrastructure Grant Program

The Blue Natural Capital Financing Facility (BNCFF) has launched a new Call for Proposals for coastal Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Green-Gray Infrastructure projects with potential to combine conservation and/or restoration of ecosystems with the selective use of conventional engineering approaches.

The BNCFF aims to support NbS financing opportunities in and around marine and coastal environments. It works to strengthen specific projects that combine likely bankability (closing the deal with a private sector investor) and positive environmental and social impacts.

This Call for Proposals provides funding for coastal NbS and green-gray infrastructure projects located within or near coastal and marine ecosystems. The BNCFF supports projects to clarify business, design, and/or conservation related project aspects, in preparation for feasibility assessments and analysis for accessing implementation financing.
