The eligibility criteria we go by are based on the projects which are submitted to Planet Action. Planet Action supports projects involved at least in one of the following domains:

• Awareness
• Human issues
• Biodiversity and conservation
• Drought and desertification
• Forest and deforestation
• Ice & snow cover
• Oceans and coastlines
• Water resources

To be eligible for support from Planet Action, projects must:

• assess climate change related issues and propose a course of actions;
• deal with at least one of the Planet Action domains;
• have a member who resides in the country where the project takes place (at least for the project duration);
• be proposed by a non-profit organization such as a NGO, a public laboratory or a university (Business organizations do not qualify for direct support);
• confirm that the project has no commercial objective;
• confirm that the project has no religious or ideological content or objective.

Additional criteria will be considered, such as:

• the importance and usefulness of the project for local populations;
• a focus on building awareness, information, training or outreach activities that will result from the project;
• specific methodologies supported by staff members or associated teams with an appropriate background for the work proposed.

Last but not least, the project "size"

A typical Planet Action project may require 5 to 10 satellite images - which may be provided either at once, or at different periods of time, as requested.

If your project meets these criteria, you may want to submit it on-line, after reading the guidelines for doing so:
