Cairngorms 2030

Inspired by the Gael­ic word Dùthchas, Cairngorms 2030 is put­ting the power to tackle the nature and cli­mate crisis in the hands of the people who live, vis­it and work in the UK’s largest nation­al park.

Dùthchas [noun, tu:xəs/] The deep-rooted con­nec­tion between people and nature

Cairngorms 2030

Over five years, the pro­gramme will inspire rur­al and urb­an com­munit­ies through­out Scot­land and bey­ond to take action and make a difference.

In so doing, the Cairngorms will become the first nation­al park in the UK to achieve net zero car­bon emissions.

£1 mil­lion Com­munit­ies Fund

A paid pan­el of 18 people who live in and love the Nation­al Park will design the whole pro­cess to hand out £1 mil­lion to Cairngorms communities.

The pan­el will make a range of import­ant choices about the fund, from eli­gib­il­ity cri­ter­ia to max­im­um award amounts and how the money is distributed.
