Campaign. "Over the past three years through the HEY Global Climate
Fund, we aim to provide the resources and platform they need to
turn their visionary ideas into impactful actions that promote
healthier communities and a more sustainable future."
The fund focuses on three key thematic areas:
1. Climate Change and Human Health, where applicants can explore

healthier communities.
2. Climate Change, Water Conservation, and Food Security, where
they can investigate the links between climate change, water
scarcity, and food security, proposing strategies for sustainable
food systems.

development of innovative solid waste management approaches to
mitigate climate change impacts.
