Communities for Climate (C4C) aim to harness the power of citizens-based local initiatives in response to the urgency of climate change by supporting 50 local climate-related community projects.
Benefits to these communities include:
- specialised expertise,
- peer-learning,
- customised study visits,
- mentoring and coaching,
- and guidance on ways to make local community projects impactful and visible at European, national and local levels.
These community-based local initiatives should be implementing actions in one (or more) of the four following areas:
- regenerating biodiversity,
- water management,
- local circular economies or
- renewable energy in urban or rural settings.
Besides, these initiatives will be located in one of the eleven eligible EU countries: Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Sweden. Project ideas that foster a cross-border collaboration in tackling climate issues are encouraged.
