About

The Climate Action and Awareness Fund is designed to support projects that can create middle class jobs for Canadians who work in science and technology, academia and at the grassroots community level. These projects are critical as we continue to build a sustainable net zero emissions economy by 2050.

The Climate Action and Awareness Fund has three main priorities:

• support youth climate awareness (request for proposals - closed summer 2020) and community-based climate action (request for proposals - fall 2020)

• support climate research at Canadian think tanks and in academia (request for proposals - winter 2021)

• advance climate science and technology (request for proposals - winter 2021)
