Are you passionate about tackling climate change? Are you working on an innovative project to create a sustainable impact in your community? Bring your climate solutions to life with our new Climate Action Grants.
What are the Alumni UK Climate Action Grants?
The Alumni UK Climate Action Grants provide grants of up to £5,000 to UK alumni who are running successful climate projects and looking to test new ideas, innovate, or scale their impact.
The projects should respond to one of the following themes:
- Just Transition: enabling communities, particularly marginalised communities, to have a voice and play an effective role in the just transition to more sustainable economic practices.
- Skills for the Green Economy: supporting skills, knowledge and capacity, particularly amongst economically marginalised or excluded groups, that strengthen employability within the low-carbon economy.
- Community cohesion and cross-community climate action, including multi-stakeholder approaches, dialogue and collaboration.
- Addressing gender and other equality related barriers, increasing access to quality climate change education and opportunities
Projects must demonstrate the principles of being climate and gender sensitive, inclusive and diverse.
Who can apply?
- Each project must be led by a member of Alumni UK.
- Applicants must reside in an Alumni UK priority country: China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam or UAE.
- Where possible, team members will also be Alumni UK members, although this is not mandatory.
