Kilkenny County Council has welcomed the announcement of a new Community Climate Action Programme by Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan.
Under the initiative, funding of €24 million has been provided for local authorities to support and build low carbon communities across the country.
A further €3 million was also provided to support cross-border and all-island community climate action initiatives.
The overall objective of the programme is to 'support' and 'empower' communities to take climate action and to 'shape' and 'build' low carbon, sustainable communities in Kilkenny and across the country.
Kilkenny communities small and large, rural and urban as well as community groups can apply for up to €100,000 grant funding with 100% funding for successful projects.
Applications for the programme will be accepted until Wednesday, February 28 2024.
