Climate and Energy Funding Opportunities

Funding for School Climate and Biodiversity Projects (UK)

The Royal Society is inviting applications to their Tomorrow's Climate Scientists Programme to give students across the UK the opportunity to take action to address climate and biodiversity issues. Grants of up to £3,000 are available to UK primary or secondary schools to run a STEM investigation project for students aged between 5 and 18.

Funding for Community-Led Tree Planting Projects (UK)

Schools, community groups and non-governmental organisations within the UK can apply for grants of up to £6,000 for community-led tree-planting projects. The aim is to conserve, restore and protect the UK's native species whilst raising awareness of the importance of trees and forests to the environment and human well-being. Organisations must plant a minimum of 50 trees per £1,000 of grant funding on publicly accessible land, or regenerate land for the benefit of trees and local wildlife. Applications can be submitted at any time until 16 December 2021.

Grants to Support Nature Conservation and Biodiversity Improvements (UK)

The Naturesave Trust will consider applications for specific projects for projects focused on nature conservation and biodiversity improvements. The Trust operates funding windows each year. Check back regularly for updates.

Funding to Support the Development of Low and Zero Carbon Heat Networks (England)

The £270 million Green Heat Network Fund will assist the rollout of the next generation of heat networks. The fund will function as a lower carbon successor to existing district heating incentives available in England, and will only support applications if they include low-carbon heating technologies such as heat pumps, waste heat and energy from geothermal sources, and solar heating. Public, private, and third sector organisations will be able to apply for funding through the scheme from April 2022.
