Allianz Climate Risk Award 2026 It is an internationally prestigious scientific initiative aimed at recognising innovative research projects on climate risk mitigation and adaptation. At a time when Cape Verde is facing pressing environmental challenges — such as water scarcity, coastal erosion and the urgent need to transition to renewable energy —, this initiative provides an ideal platform for Cape Verdean researchers and academics to present practical solutions applicable to the context of climate resilience in small island nations.

The award focuses on supporting young researchers and PhD students who are carrying out academic work of the highest standard. Successful applicants not only receive significant financial support to advance their research, but also gain global visibility through the Allianz network, enabling their ideas to influence policy-makers and the private sector in the fight against climate change.

Eligible proposals should address critical issues such as modelling extreme weather events, insurance against climate risks, nature-based solutions and adaptation strategies for vulnerable communities. For universities and research centres in Cape Verde, this is a golden opportunity to put the country’s scientific community on the global sustainability map.

If you have a research project with the potential to transform environmental risk management, don’t miss the deadline for submitting it for this prestigious international award.
