UNDP Small Grants Programme operates within the United Nations Development Programme to advance environmental benefits by distributing small grants to community-driven initiatives aligned with the Global Environment Facility's focal areas. These areas include biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, protection of international waters, and prevention of land degradation such as desertification and deforestation, as well as efforts to eliminate persistent organic pollutants. The program emphasizes community-based implementation to translate local action into broader environmental outcomes. Headquartered in the United States, it functions within the environmental services sector and is described as a mid-sized program. It supports communities and partner organizations working on locally rooted solutions to global environmental challenges, often in collaboration with government and international actors. In late 2025, UNDP announced a partnership with CelsiusPro AG to expand collaboration with the insurance sector to develop recovery solutions.
