Call for Applications: RISK Award 2025 (up to €100,000) Deadline: 13 October, 2024
Applications are open for the RISK Award 2025. The RISK Award is looking for project proposals under the topic “Children and youths as agents of change for DRR”. In this sense, the 2025 RISK Award reflects a combined approach from three major UN frameworks, namely the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change 2015. They especially invite non-profit organisations, NGOs, but also academic institutions and local communities to apply with their non-profit projects on this topic.
The risks posed by population development, environmental and climate change are increasing. Complex technical systems and vulnerable infrastructures are additional risk factors. The RISK Award partners recognise the need to address this development. The RISK Award has been set up to help improve risk reduction and disaster management by providing financial support to projects dedicated to these issues.
Award
- The RISK Award is endowed with €100,000. This means that they can contribute to your project with a maximum of €100,000. However, they also understand that there are many initiatives that are larger. In this case, write in your application what the volume of your overall project is and where the other required financial resources will come from.
Eligibility
- The proposal must address the specific annual RISK Award topic
- The project must be non-profit. Business development is not possible to be supported by the RISK Award.
- The proposed project must include an implementation part (action), a proposal solely based on research is not sufficient.
- The risks must be related to climate change and natural hazards.
- Risks due to social turmoil, war, chemical disasters, and/or political crises are not in the scope of the RISK Award.
- They appreciate ideas to involve the people at risk (people centred approaches).
- They appreciate proposals which combine bottom-up approaches with top-down frameworks (community-based approaches).
- They encourage project teams which are engaged in multi-stakeholder partnerships (different sectors, different sizes, different organisational background, PPPs).
Evaluation Criteria

- Potential for impact
- Equity
- Scalability
