Cairngorms National Park Authority - Climate Adaptation Fund

Details

The fund has been established to support capital works and investments in response to the change that we have seen in our climate over the last decades and to prepare for the challenges that we will face as our climate continues to change.

The fund has three guiding principles:

1. Adaptation – projects will contribute to climate adaptation within the Cairngorms National Park that help deliver the Scottish National Climate Change Adaptation Programme.
2. Nature Based Solutions – projects will promote nature-based solutions and green engineering to help adapt to climate change while contributing to habitat and species recovery in the National Park.
3. Economy – Projects will endeavour to maximise their contribution to sustainable local employment and economic activity within the National Park.

Funds capital items that could unlock long term delivery, which could include: New assets (items with a multi-year lifespan); significant works which will result in benefits or change spanning multiple years i.e. habitat enrichment; plant machinery, or other equipment with a multi-year lifespan.

All projects will need to be completed by March 2027 (including all spend).
