Climate Adaptation Fund Guidance Note

This document contains information about the Cairngorms National Park Climate Adaptation Fund, which supports capital projects that help the National Park adapt to climate change. The fund focuses on projects that align with the National Park Partnership Plan 2022-2027, emphasizing nature, people, and place, and it operates under the guiding principles of adaptation, nature-based solutions, and economic sustainability. Grants typically range from £20,000 to £100,000, and are available to individual businesses, landowners, community groups, and charities, and these grants can fund new assets, significant works, and equipment, but not usually staff salaries or consultancy fees. The fund will assess projects based on their contribution to the fund's themes, public benefit, project planning, and risk management, and those interested should submit an Expression of Interest, and then applications by invite will be open from 7 April to 15 May 2025, and you can contact the fund via [email protected] for more information.
