The Climate Preparedness and Land Restoration initiative aims to accelerate climate adaptation and land restoration projects across the Groundwork network. Through a competitive grant process, Groundwork Trusts are awarded funding to pursue innovative land restoration projects that will help alleviate the human impacts of the climate crisis through the creation of new green spaces, expansion of the urban tree canopy, and installation of green infrastructure. Made possible by support from the Bezos Earth Fund, we seek to implement projects that lead to tangible changes in the built environment. Projects will all have a short-term impact on climate resilience, while laying the foundation for shifting how critical climate adaptation resources are allocated across cities.
