Climate & Emergency
Ready Fund
More than $1million in grant funding is now available to support community organisations across Tāmaki Makaurau to take meaningful action on climate change and be emergency ready.
A journey to a
resilient Tāmaki Makaurau
The fund helps community organisations, local groups, and their partners take bold action on climate change by supporting projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for emergencies, and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. This fund combines previous and new grants into one simple process, making it easier for communities to access more climate resilience funding.
