Community Action Across UK

Projects in Scotland

It's an exciting time right now in Scotland if you're interested in cutting emissions and living more sustainably.

The Scottish Government's £27 million Climate Challenge Fund was set up in 2008 to specifically fund community led projects which reduce carbon. So far 150 communities have received funding to implement projects on food, travel, energy and waste.

The application process is supported through Keep Scotland Beautiful and has been designed to be swift and painless! For more information, inspiration and ideas please click on the logos to the right.

Setting up your own project

The Climate Challenge Fund working in partnership with GCNS, has commissioned a series of low-carbon route maps to support the planning of carbon cutting actions within active communities. These are highly useful to help plan a sound carbon reduction project. The six Route Maps are available to download from the Sustainable Development Commission at the following links:
