Adapting to Climate Change in Wyoming

Small Grants Competition

The University of Wyoming and Western Water Assessment (WWA) are pleased to announce the Adapting to Climate Change in Wyoming grant competition.

Funding will support climate change adaptation projects for traditionally underserved, Indigenous, and small rural communities and organizations. Proposals may include activities such as understanding perceptions and risk, community outreach and engagement, assessing vulnerability, funding applied adaptation projects, addressing baseline vulnerabilities and stressors, or extending existing programs to serve rural and underserved communities.

Goals

• Build resilience of underserved communities, enabling people, communities, institutions, and ecosystems to be prepared for, withstand, and emerge stronger from shocks and chronic stresses;
• catalyze local and regional adaptation and innovation that has the capacity to inspire communities across the state;
• leverage the resources of Western Water Assessment and build relationships that have the potential to last beyond the proposal duration; and
• meet locally-defined and relevant needs of community members, organizations, or institutions.
