Improved understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes and radiative forcers, including carbon dioxide removal technologies

This program primarily targets research-focused entities and organizations committed to advancing climate science. It supports efforts to enhance our understanding of Earth's climate system, contributing to EU policies and international climate action.

This funding program supports Research and Innovation Actions focused on filling fundamental gaps in Earth system understanding, specifically concerning greenhouse gas fluxes, radiative forcers, and responses to carbon dioxide removal technologies. Projects should aim to improve scientific understanding and climate projections.

This program provides grants to support significant research efforts in climate science, with a total budget of 18,000,000 € allocated for this specific topic.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to general conditions set out in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes, which cover various aspects from admissibility to financial setup. International collaboration is encouraged to enhance project impact.

The application process for this topic was a single-stage submission, with evaluation results communicated in January 2022.

The program is legally grounded in the Horizon Europe framework, ensuring adherence to EU regulations and financial transparency.
