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

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

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
