2. Cool Earth

We are seeking groundbreaking innovations that strengthen resilience and adaptation to climate-induced extreme weather, particularly rising temperatures and heatwaves. This includes scalable cooling and adaptive solutions that protect communities, vulnerable populations and industries, contributing to a more liveable and climate-resilient planet.

Examples of such solutions include, but not limited to:

  • Nature-Based Climate Resilience
    Harness and restore natural ecosystems to strengthen resilience to climate impacts, while generating benefits for communities, biodiversity and livelihoods.

    Examples: mangrove and coastal ecosystem restoration, seaweed cultivation, urban greening, regenerative agriculture and other scalable blue and green nature-based solutions.
  • Heat Resilience & Adaptation
    Mitigate the impacts of extreme heat and rising temperatures through solutions that reduce heat exposure or strengthen the ability of people, communities and industries to adapt.

    Examples: urban and outdoor cooling, heat-resilient infrastructure and public spaces, passive cooling materials and surfaces, personal cooling, heat-health solutions, and climate-resilient food and agriculture.

The top three solutions will win S$1 Million each in grant funding.
