The Rapid Deployment Mechanism (RDM) is a small grant fund created to assist developing member countries of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People advance their 30×30 goals.
The mechanism was launched following the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People’s win in the “Revive Our Oceans” category of the Earthshot Prize in 2024. The RDM provides seed funding to accelerate the development and implementation of 30×30.
The Rapid Deployment Mechanism (RDM) addresses the need for funding that catalyzes small-scale financing for bigger impact. By providing fast, flexible seed funding, the RDM bridges the gap between early-stage requirements and larger funding sources, helping countries accelerate actions on 30×30. The RDM has been created for HAC for N&P developing countries.
