The Second Community Action for Landscape Management Program (CALM 2) is launched in #Ethiopia! 🌱 Our delegation, led by Managing Director Satu Santala, had the honour of representing NDF at the launch ceremony in Addis Ababa on Tuesday this week. With a total commitment of EUR 10 million to #CALM2, NDF is contributing to efforts to restore landscapes and strengthen climate resilience and livelihoods in Ethiopia. The programme is supported by World Bank Group and several other development partners. “We are pleased to contribute to this important programme in the Ethiopian highlands supporting sustainable landscape management. We particularly welcome the opportunity to join forces with the Ethiopian government in strengthening the capacity to register and market the carbon credits generated through the interventions of CALM 2, while ensuring that farmers on the ground receive a fair share of the benefits,” says Morten Holm van Donk, Program Manager at NDF. The Nordic countries have made strong commitments to international climate action, with a shared emphasis on multilateralism, innovation and values-driven approaches. Through partnerships such as CALM 2, NDF helps translate these ambitions into practical action, mobilising climate finance alongside our partners to support biodiversity, sustainable development and climate resilience. Thank you to the Government of Ethiopia, the World Bank and our fellow co-financiers for a successful launch. We look forward to working together to advance resilient climate solutions that respond to some of the planet’s most urgent challenges and support the people most at risk. 🔗 Read more about CALM 2 here: https://shorturl.at/KGF9D #ClimateFinance #CatalyticFinance Photo: World Bank Group
