Travel Support
Will Travel Support be available in 2021 and if so how do I apply?
We are in the process of fundraising for travel support in 2022 - we can make no guarantees that there will be funding available and will share any updates as they become available. Travel support to attend the National Adaptation Forum (Forum) has traditionally been available in limited quantities due to a handful of generous sponsors and was awarded through a competitive review process. Eligible applicants included staff from government, tribal, non-profit organizations, community leaders, and university students working on or studying climate change adaptation. We are all in this together and need your help to secure this much valued support to attend the 2022 Forum. If you know of an adaptation partner interested in supporting participants through travel support please forward their information to: info@NationalAdaptationForum.org and we will reach out to them.
