Apply the advanced filters below to select project characteristics which align with your interests. After clicking on a filter, further values can be selected from the drop-down list. The total number of cases to which the selected filter applies is shown in brackets alongside the filter.
The map will be updated with the results of your search, and a list of all relevant projects will be displayed below.

Keep in mind that:

When filtering the top two advanced filters, ‘Challenges Addressed’ and ‘Nature-based Solutions’, only the projects which satisfy all selected criteria under both of these filters will be displayed in the search results.
Filtering by the other characteristics (location, budget etc.) will however show results for all of the selected characteristics simultaneously.
