Community Climate Change Adaptation Grants launched

​The Victorian Government has launched $1 million in competitive grants to fund projects that support communities in Victoria’s regions adapt to the impacts of climate change.  

The Community Climate Change Adaptation (3CA) Grants Program will:

• identify and support practical projects focused on adaptation activities with clear community benefit;
• foster partnerships between communities, local governments and regional stakeholders on adaptation; and
• generate and share lessons on good practice approaches to community adaptation.

  
The 3CA Grants program is providing targeted support for Local Governments, Traditional Owners and community groups to support Victoria’s regions adapt to climate change. Other organisations, such as private sector or education institutions, however may still apply in partnership with a Local Council, Traditional Owner corporation or community group. 

Grants will be available to successful community adaptation projects of between $25,000 and $75,000. 

Applications are open now and close at 11.59pm on the 31st March 2019. 

The 3CA Grants program is part of the Victorian Government’s Supporting our Regions to Adapt initiative, a three-year program providing practical support for communities to prepare for the challenges of a changing climate. It supports outcomes from Victoria’s Climate Change Adaptation Plan 2017- 2020.
