The Climate Challenge Fund

The Climate Challenge Fund is all about giving communities the means to tackle climate change by reducing their carbon emissions. If you have an idea for a project the Climate Challenge Fund could help make it a reality.

Individually, we can do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint, but just think how much we could achieve by working with others. That's why we want to empower communities to work together to make a real difference.

Wherever you are in Scotland, if you’ve got an idea then please let us know by filling in our Project Idea Form and if we like it we’ll be in touch to take things forward.

If you'd like to get involved but aren't sure how just yet, take a look at our case studies and list of projects we're funding to see how other communities have already put Climate Challenge Funds to good use reducing their carbon emissions.
