Community funding options for climate action

Community funding options for climate action

Climate Adaptation Te Tai Tokerau

This page from Climate Adaptation Te Tai Tokerau maps out where community groups can look for climate action funding, from district councils and Northland Regional Council's own fund through to Foundation North, the Ministry for the Environment, and international funders focused on developing nations.

It notes that most funding criteria were not written with climate action in mind, and encourages groups to apply anyway for work on environmental protection, restoration, waste reduction and community resilience.
