The Climate Engagement Fund aims to build understanding of the climate emergency across communities in Scotland, both geographic and communities of interest, by offering support for climate engagement activities.
The CEF can be used to:
- Engage people and deepen their understanding of the climate emergency and the action that society needs to take to reach net zero, thus delivering on the ‘understand’ objective of the Public Engagement Strategy for Climate Change
Examples of activities that can be funded include:
- Public events/lectures
- Climate festivals
- Climate conversations
- Learning and development (e.g. carbon/climate training, climate coaching)
- Skills workshops
- Exhibitions/art installations
- Participatory arts
- Youth development programmes
- Staff costs linked to delivery of the project
Bids can include new activity or uplifts to existing activity (one-off or ongoing).
Fund award sizes
Minimum: £25,000
Maximum: £80,000
