BASE’s inaugural call of grants supported the implementation of eight climate projects in tropical forests of the Global South, while working alongside local researchers of developing a new approach to develop the projects’ climate evidence. Throughout one year, BASE has achieved significant milestones and learned valuable lessons on overcoming barriers that local communities in the Global South face in accessing climate finance.
The present document summarizes the journey we have taken with project’s grantees and the communities in which activities were implemented, researchers and a diverse group of actors that accompanied us while we walked the talk. We start by providing some context, explaining the problem BASE aims to address and its goal and approach to do so. Then, we delve into the first grant scheme, sharing our strategy for the application stage and what we have learned through that phase. Next, we move into the implementation stage highlighting the achievements, challenges, and lessons learned from eight community-led climate projects and the research process where we tested a particular approach for establishing the climate evidence of projects with more speed, simplicity and in a manner that resonates with communities.
