Description
The Climate Action and Awareness Fund will invested $ 206 million over five years to support Canadian-made projects that help to reduce Canada's greenhouse gas emissions.
The Climate Action and Awareness Fund was designed to support projects that can create middle-class jobs for Canadians who work in science and technology, academia and at the grassroots community level. These projects are designed to build toward a sustainable net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
The Climate Action and Awareness Fund has three main priorities:
- support youth climate awareness (call for proposals closed summer 2020) and community-based climate action (1st call for proposals closed fall 2020; 2nd directed call for proposals closed winter 2022)
- support climate research at Canadian think tanks and in academia (call for proposals closed summer 2022)
- advancing climate change science and technology (call for proposals closed spring 2021)
