Warwick District Council is committed to creating a more sustainable district by supporting action that enhances biodiversity, conserves our natural environment, reduces waste, lowers carbon emissions and makes adaptations to manage the effects of climate change.

To help achieve these aims, we have established the Community Climate and Nature Fund to fund community groups across the district to take action to create a greener and more resilient Warwick District. 

Therefore we are seeking to fund projects which meet one or more of the following five aims:

1. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
2. Adapting and building resilience to climate change
3. Conserving and enhancing biodiversity
4. Reducing waste, increasing recycling or supporting the circular economy
5. Research which enables access to more significant funding applications

The maximum amount of funding that can be applied for is £10,000.
