Energy and Climate
This funding aims to inspire and support communities across the UK to address the energy and climate crisis. The projects we’re funding should show how communities can address climate change while tackling the energy challenges through community-led climate action.
We're funding projects that:
- encourage communities to use energy in an environmentally friendly way
- bring communities together so that they can explore ways to promote energy efficiency
- enable communities to understand and engage with opportunities for clean energy generation, which do not use fossil fuels
All projects should consider how everyone in the community can get involved with climate action. They must also address any reasons why some people might be left out.
We’re funding projects that will bring a range of benefits to communities, including:
- improving health and well-being
- creating local 'green' jobs, such as jobs providing low-carbon heat for homes, community energy champions and energy advisors
- reducing carbon emissions
- supporting communities to be more resilient
We're funding projects that aim for long-term change. And projects that have the potential to have a positive impact beyond the communities they're directly working with.
