Flexible Fund

The seventh component of the CARA programme is a Flexible Fund that helps UK embassies and high commissions respond to what countries need to develop climate resilience. Managed by the FCDO, this fund supports a diverse range of organisations to deliver targeted adaptation projects that protect nature and improve the well-being and resilience of communities across the Indo-Pacific region.

The Flexible Fund is designed to:

  • Respond quickly to climate priorities identified by national governments in the Indo-Pacific.
  • Deploy UK expertise and address gaps in existing support to countries affected by the climate crisis.
  • Allow for greater thematic flexibility, including support for distinct biodiversity concerns and nature-based solutions.
  • Support civil society organisations to pilot innovative solutions.
  • Enable cross-boundary or multi-country initiatives to address shared concerns like air and water.
