Community Climate Action Programme Funding Applications Reopen For Clare Projects

Community groups in Clare can once again apply for funding for climate projects under phase two of the Community Climate Action Programme. A €572,000 fund is available for a wide range of projects across the county that "address the urgent challenge of climate change" and help the county achieve its goals under the five-year Climate Action Plan. Applications are open until December 16th for proposals that touch on one or more of the themes of community, energy, travel, food and waste, shopping and recycling and local environmental action. Climate Action Officer at Clare County Council, Dara Dever, says given the competition for funding, projects that cover multiple themes have a greater chance of success.
