Climate Action funding for seventeen Waterford community groups

Following a call by Waterford City and County Council, seventeen community groups will share €564,000 for local climate action projects.

Waterford City and County Council, in conjunction with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications launched the Community Climate Action Programme earlier this year.

The programme aims to support small and large, rural and urban communities to tackle climate action at a local level and provide these communities with the opportunities to take a holistic approach and actively transition to low carbon and sustainable communities.

Welcoming the funding, Susan Lee, Community Climate Action Officer with Waterford City and County Council said, “These community groups have shown their commitment and foresight in implementing climate action measures that will have a resounding impact on their communities as a whole.”
