🎉🙌 NDF has committed EUR 10 million to the Second Community Action for Landscape Management Program for Results (CALM II) project in #Ethiopia, supporting climate resilience in climate-sensitive highland areas where most livelihoods depend on rainfed agriculture. The project strengthens sustainable land management, forest restoration, and climate-smart agriculture, while laying the foundation for a carbon credit system to support long-term landscape restoration. CALM II also supports long-term sustainability for communities, especially women, who often face the harshest impacts of climate and economic shocks. 🌾💡 💬 “Our contribution is catalytic: we help co-create solutions with partners, so climate investments translate into tangible and equitable outcomes for communities, while ensuring strong social and environmental safeguards and gender integration,” says Morten Holm van Donk, Program Manager at NDF. ➡️ Read more about CALM II: https://shorturl.at/i1KEI #ClimateFinance #ClimateResilience #SustainableLandManagement Photo: World Bank/Andrea Borgarello

Partnerships are the core of NDF’s mission to advance climate and development action. As an anchor donor of the Systematic Observation Financing Facility (SOFF), we have supported strengthening weather and climate data for the most vulnerable regions of the world. 💬 “NDF is more than a donor for SOFF. NDF trusted SOFF at its earliest stage, becoming its first donor when SOFF was still a concept and enabling the Fund to take off. Beyond financial support, NDF has demonstrated strong leadership in practice by serving as Steering Committee co-chair during SOFF’s first two years, helping mobilize other donors and shaping a strong Nordic footprint within SOFF’s governance,” says Markus Repnik, Director of the SOFF Secretariat. “We are grateful for a partnership grounded in a shared innovation mindset, reflected for example in NDF’s targeted support to SOFF’s exploration of innovative financing solutions, such as the Systematic Observation Impact Bond,” he adds. ➡️ Read more about Strategy 2030: https://www.ndf.int/…/ndf-launches-its-strategy-2030-focus-…
