New FORWARDS grant call!
The FORWARDS project, funded under Horizon Europe, has launched a new call for grants.
G-05-2025: Citizen and Stakeholder Engagement in Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) and Forest Restoration.
This grant call seeks to foster the development of inclusive initiatives that encourage the participation of citizens and stakeholders in decision-making processes for Climate Smart Forestry (CSF) and forest restoration at the forest management or policy level. Specifically, it aims to strengthen participatory governance by supporting the creation of structures and processes that actively involve citizens and stakeholders in the development of forest management and restoration strategies—on forest holdings or at governance levels. This call will support activities that employ various levels of societal engagement ranging from local community initiatives to larger regional or national programmes in Europe. Supported projects and activities will either complement existing, or implement new, social engagement activities in the context of Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) or forest restoration.
Submission deadline for this call is 12 October 2025 at 21:00 UTC +2. For more information and to access the Call for Grants, please visit our Grants page.
