The projects involve partnership arrangements between local authorities and various local groups including community groups, schools and environmental NGOs.
The Community Environment Action Fund assists sustainable development from the ground-up and facilitates, at local level, the achievement of the objectives of the Agenda 21 action plan on sustainable development.
The Fund is administered by local authorities, in conjunction with the Department of communications, Climate Action and Environment. Eligible projects are those which support and complement, at a local level, national environmental policies such as those on Waste, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Air, Water and Sustainable Development. We are particularly interested in projects which target Climate Action and Biodiversity this year given the focus on our Climate Action Strategy.
If you have a suitable project for consideration, please forward completed applications to bernadine.carry@meathcoco.ie before 27th September 2019.
