The Community Led Climate Solutions Grant Program supports not-for-profit organisations across remote, rural and regional Australia to drive local climate solutions that reduce emissions through education, engagement and action on:

• clean energy;

• circular economies;

• decarbonisation;

• sustainable agriculture and food systems;

• biodiverse ecosystems; or

• just transitions*.

The Program is collaboratively funded by donors committed to enabling communities to address the impacts of climate change locally for positive and sustainable environmental, social and economic outcomes.

Round 1 of the program offers grants of up to $20,000 for a range of initiatives that can help by achieving one of the following objectives:

1. Drive engagement, education, and leadership in remote, rural, and regional climate solutions;
2. Activate locally-led opportunities to advance: the clean energy transition, climate adaptation, decarbonisation, or circular economies;
3. Support just transitions* to clean energy economies to help communities thrive.
