Are you part of a group or project aiming to make Edinburgh a greener city? Do you have an idea for a project that meets one or more of the following criteria –
- create opportunities for community leadership and learning on climate change
- reduce greenhouse gas emissions within communities and contribute to the net-zero agenda for Edinburgh
- set up sustainable projects for the benefit of local people to build resilience or adapt to climate change within communities
- build relationships between neighbourhoods of different socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds to work together on just, equitable and accessible climate and resilience activities. These will contribute to the city’s net zero agenda and ensure that activities work towards reducing or removing barriers for disabled people as we transition to net zero.
If so, you can now apply for up to £20,000 from the Edinburgh Community Climate Fund. You can now submit your idea and engage with the community through comments. Ideas will then go to a public vote to decide which projects get funding.
