Groups and organisations can apply for funding to help people understand how climate change affects their lives and what actions they can take.

The Climate Engagement Fund will support groups to act as ‘trusted messengers’ in their communities, and lead climate change initiatives that:

• reach all parts of society
• build understanding
• enable participation in policy development
• encourage climate action

Climate Engagement funding can be used for activities such as:

• events, lectures, and festivals
• climate conversations and workshops
• interactive exhibitions and participatory arts
• training and climate coaching
• youth programmes and citizen science
• informative games and mobile applications
• staff costs directly linked to project design and delivery

The project period is August 2025 to 31 March 2026, when all funded activity must be completed.
