Climate

Our climate priorities are to contribute to:

Community climate action that supports a rapid reduction in carbon emissions and progress towards net zero
A just transition that leaves no one and nowhere behind by
- Developing green skills, jobs and opportunities
- Reducing inequalities in health and wellbeing
- Building community climate resilience and adaptation

As part of the seven year CAF learning and support partnership, we are building the skills and capabilities of 100+ community climate action projects and local partnerships, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund's Climate Action Fund.
