Many measures and one clear objective: action on climate and conserving natural ecosystems. We help you to find the matching funding programme from the Federal Action Plan on Nature-based Solutions (ANK) for your project.
With the help of stakeholder-specific events, we provide you with information, while also offering you advice and services for networking with other actors working in the field of nature-based climate action. This page provides you with an overview of all ANK funding programmes.
As the ANK is a national action plan, our funding programmes are generally German-language only.
