Cairngorms 2030

Cairngorms 2030 is an ambitious programme that will see the Cairngorms become the UK’s first net zero national park, turning all the talk about tackling climate change into positive action on the ground.

Made up of 20 long-term and impactful projects, Cairngorms 2030 is on a bigger scale than anything previously attempted in the UK. With over 80 partners involved, and more than £42 million of funding, we’re focussed on delivering the transformational changes necessary to deliver on our collective climate and nature responsibilities. Cairngorms 2030 seeks to provide both inspiration that change is possible, and models that rural and urban communities can learn from. 

From the development of community deer larders taking venison from field to foodbank, to a community led grants scheme funding local climate action projects, codesign is at the heart of Cairngorms 2030. By designing projects with communities for communities, this programme creates meaningful and sustainable solutions that benefit people and nature alike.  

Cairngorms 2030 is already making a difference, and by 2030 projects working across nature, community empowerment, sustainable transport and health and wellbeing will be a beacon of inspiration in a rapidly changing world.  

Cairngorms 2030 is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to players of the National Lottery.
