Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether the Climate Challenge Fund will be extended to 2021-22 and, if so, what pans it has for it that year.
Answer
46 projects across Scotland will continue to be funded through the Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund in 2021-22 for the second year of their two-year projects.
Following a review of the Climate Challenge Fund in 2019, and as set out in the Programme for Government 2020-21, we shall provide further support for community climate action through the development of new networks of regional hubs and Climate Action Towns, to promote collaboration and empower communities to drive forward activity contributing towards our just transition to a net zero nation.
