    The Climate Engagement Fund (CEF) offers funding of £25,000 to £80,000 for projects that help to build people’s understanding of the climate emergency, how it relates to their lives, and the need for climate action.

    Applications are invited for projects to be undertaken between April 2026 and March 2027, with a total funding pot of £275,000.

    The Scottish Government's Climate Engagement Fund supports organisations to act as 'trusted messengers' within their communities, and lead engagement initiatives that deliver real impact and legacy in tackling the climate emergency, in regard to one or more of the following:

    • reaching all parts of society, including less engaged communities

    • influencing those with lifestyles that have higher climate impact

    • building knowledge and skills for improved understanding of how climate change is relevant to people's lives, and of what is being done to tackle and adapt to climate change in Scotland

    • supporting people to understand how climate action can have positive impacts on affordability (e.g. of heating buildings), jobs, health, wellbeing, and nature

    • empowering and enabling people to influence local decision-making regarding climate action and policy, including through using place-based and participative engagement approaches

    • helping to maintain and build society-wide consensus for the need for climate action and protection of nature and natural resources
