Details

The Climate Action Fund will support communities in the UK to take local action on climate change.

The programme will fund formal partnership projects that reach more people by either:

• linking climate action to the everyday lives and interests of local communities. And inspiring them to take action.
• influencing communities at a regional or national level. Like linking up groups across locations. Or a campaign that inspires change across one country, or the whole UK.

They are particularly interested in projects that involve people, places and communities experiencing poverty, discrimination and disadvantage.

• include at least one organisation with experience of climate or environment work
