Launched on December 12, 2025, in honor of the 10the To mark the anniversary of the Paris Agreement, a contest aims to put nature and its solutions back at the center of the discussion. Why not draw inspiration from nature to adapt to climate change? Nature is virtuous and resilient—why not draw inspiration from it? That is the goal of this new contest organized by a trio of institutions committed to the ecological transition and the preservation of biodiversity. We invite you to participate!
Come join us!
Can we draw inspiration from nature to mitigate the effects of climate change? That is the goal of the Life ARTISAN Climate Change Adaptation Awards, which aim to recognize nature-based solutions (NBS) implemented in overseas territories and mainland France. Any organization—whether private or public, including nonprofit organizations—may enter this competition, which is divided into three categories:
- Category 1: «Adaptation of Regions and Populations»
- Category 2: «Adaptation of Economic Sectors and Production Methods»
- Category 3: «Adapting Ecosystem Management Approaches»
- Special price: «Governance»
The effectiveness of the solutions will be assessed based on concrete results achieved in relation to climate change and the state of biodiversity.
More Than Just a Contest
The competition is organized by three institutions committed to the ecological transition and the fight against global warming: ADEME, OFB, and the Directorate General for Energy and Climate (DGEC) of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Biodiversity.
The winning projects will have the opportunity to receive their awards at the Adaptation & Nature Forum, to be held in Rennes on July 7 and 8, 2026.
The deadline to apply is March 20, 2026. TO PARTICIPATE, CLICK HERE
