Community Climate Action Programme

Funds community-led decarbonisation in Ireland through strong local planning support.

The Community Climate Action Programme is a €27 million strand within the Climate Action Fund, supporting community organisations to lead local decarbonisation projects in partnership with local authorities. It provides up to 100% grant funding — meaning no match funding is required from community applicants. Delivery is managed through local authorities and Community Climate Action Officers, with Strand 2 administered by Pobal. This programme is primarily aimed at community and voluntary organisations, not for-profit SMEs. It is a sub-strand of the Climate Action Fund and shares that fund's status (no open call as of May 2026).
