Community Climate
Action Fund in Inishowen
31.10.24
DONEGAL County Council has
announced funding of 1,069,000 under the Community
Climate Action Fund. The government-funded scheme is for
communities and not-for-profit organisations to complete
local projects and initiatives that help address climate
change.
The funding allocated in Donegal will support small (up
to 20,000), medium (20,000-50,000), and large-scale
(50,000-100,000) community climate action projects in
five key theme areas, - community energy, sustainable
travel, food and waste, shopping and recycling and local
climate and environmental action.
According to Councillor Niamh Kennedy, Cathaoirleach of
Donegal County Council: The projects funded under this
scheme will help local groups take positive climate
actions and be climate leaders within their communities.
These projects will go towards inspiring others to take
similar actions. The level of interest shown in the Fund
is testament to the community-led sustainability efforts
that are ongoing throughout the County. |
