D&G Climate Hub

So…what exactly does the D&G Climate Hub do?

•  Supports local climate action via seed funding, support to access further funding and sign posting to additional resources
• Maps existing climate action activity
• Identifies barriers to local climate action
• Supports communities to design and deliver climate action projects
• Reaches out to communities with little or no previous involvement in climate action and identify ways of enabling them to participate
• Fosters peer to peer learning, networking and sharing of experience
• Encourages co-ordination of activity and collaboration between community groups, and other local bodies

The D&G Climate Hub is also on hand to support communities to embed climate action in Local Place Plans – get in touch!

Seed Fund

The D&G Climate Hub is facilitating a seed fund to help community groups in Dumfries & Galloway to deliver climate action in their local area through grass-roots projects and events. Seed funding can be used to kick-start new ideas or support ongoing projects.

We are looking for applications from community-led projects and groups who are leading on climate activity in their locale. Download the Seed Fund Criteria and Application Form via the links below.
