Description
The aim of the Climate Change Community Fund (CCCF) is to foster and improve a sense of community around climate focused projects and increase community engagement surrounding the topic of climate change and deliver both environmental and social benefits.
Developed using funds from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), climate action projects, including mitigation, adaptation or ecological and biodiversity restoration or enhancement, will be eligible to apply for the CCCF.
Projects may have a biodiversity, active travel or educational focus, for example; and could be ideas such as community gardens, installing cycle racks, rain water harvesting, or simply rewilding a small piece of unused land.
