Applications are open for the British Council Climate Skills Global Collaboration Grants 2026. The grants will fund collaborations that deliver structured, industry-aligned opportunities for young people to gain green work experience and/or green entrepreneurship experience.
Funding can be used to establish new collaborations, or develop existing links, between HEIs, TVET institutions, training providers, and NGOs with a focus on longer term sustainability. The grants should enable young people both in the UK and the partner country to undertake opportunities.
Partners will work together to build:
- Strategic partnerships between UK institutions and local organisations in partner countries focused on green work pathways and skills gaps
- Co-designed and delivered green work experience or training for young people (18-30) in the UK and partner country
- Mutual knowledge exchange, capacity building and sustained engagement between partners.
Grants
- Grants of £50,000 to £85,000 are available for partnerships between the UK and Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico or Viet Nam.
Eligibility
- The call will accept joint proposals from one lead UK institution and one lead partner country institution. Additional organisations may be included as part of a consortium.
- Organisations should be based in the UK and one other Climate Skills delivery country (Brazil, Mexico, India, Indonesia or Viet Nam).
