Twenty-nine projects will be supported under this 2019 to 2020 scheme. Each of these local initiatives complements, at a local level, sustainable policies to prevent waste, tackle climate breakdown and enhance biodiversity. A wide variety of projects will be supported including school gardens, waste prevention, compost schemes, educational initiatives and biodiversity projects.

The Community Environment Action Fund is jointly funded by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
