Latest change: The Earth Tech: Adapt page now presents broader Earth Tech program information and no longer shows the previously visible applicant criteria, sector focus, or apply links for the Adapt stream.
Earth Tech Adapt page content updated
The Earth Tech page content was revised so the Adapt stream is no longer shown with its earlier applicant criteria, sector focus, or application link. The visible page now emphasizes broader Earth Tech program information, partner details, and support content instead of the Adapt-specific application instructions. This changes the practical guidance available to applicants for Earth Tech: Adapt, especially around who the program is for and how to start an application. No deadline or funding term change is visible in the updated content.
