UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF)
UK - UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF)
The UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF) replaced the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF), with a wider remit, funding projects both in the UK and internationally to tackle some of the most complex national security challenges facing the UK and its partners. The UKISF combined the CSSF with the National Cyber Programme and the Economic Deterrence Initiative (EDI). The latter tackling sanctions evasion across the UK’s trade, transport, and financial sanctions. Like the CSSF, the UKISF budget includes Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) funds and non-ODA funds.
REDD Early Movers (REM) Programme
UK - Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
The REDD+ Early Movers (REM) Programme, currently operational in Latin America, aims to reward countries or jurisdictions considered as pioneers in forest protection and climate mitigation. It targets countries or regions that have already taken ambitious actions to protect forests and provides conditional payments upon verified emission reductions from avoided deforestation (REDD+). Results-based payments in the REM Programme are invested according to a “benefit-sharing strategy” that has been jointly agreed by partners.
UK Blue Carbon Fund
Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs
The Fund will promote the sustainable management, conservation and restoration of mangrove habitats by developing and embedding operational blue carbon markets across the Caribbean and Latin America that provide local communities with a sustainable income and assist in moving low-income countries towards low-emission, climate-resilient development.
British Council - Amazonia Brazil / UK -International Science Partnerships Fund
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
The Capacity Building for Amazonia +10 initiative focuses on the Brazilian Amazon and its under-represented groups, forming part of the broader Amazon+10 Initiative—a coalition of 25 State Research Foundations across Brazil established in 2022. This initiative aims to support and fund a sustainable development model for the Brazilian Amazon through Science, Technology, and Innovation (ST&I). With an initial investment of nearly £7 million in Research and development (R&D) projects across the nine states within the Legal Amazon, the strategy endeavors to foster a socio-biodiversity economy while enhancing collaboration networks and research opportunities for PhD and MSc researchers, whose capacity currently lags behind the national average. The proposal seeks to integrate with the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) by co-designing interventions with Brazilian partners to strengthen capacity and promote bilateral research collaborations, fostering engagement between UK and Brazilian researchers, particularly in the Legal Amazon and other contributing institutions. Workshops will cover topics such as biodiversity and climate change, protection of traditional communities, urban challenges, and bioeconomy to support sustainable development. Open to lead researchers from universities and research institutions in both the UK and Brazil, the grants aim to support international development, enhance early career researcher capacity, and establish or develop sustainable long-term research links. This initiative is ODA-eligible as it focuses on the economic development and welfare of the Brazilian Amazon, directly benefiting local communities by promoting sustainable development, enhancing research capacity, and fostering inclusive growth in a region classified as a developing area.
