Funding available to help municipalities address staffing gaps and improve their operations related to climate change.
FCM now offers climate change staff grants for Canadian municipalities with populations of 150,000 or less, providing up to $125,000 over two years to supplement the salary of a new or existing municipal employee who will work on initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or improve adaptation to local climate change impacts.
Communities can use the funding to dedicate staff to activities such as developing or refreshing climate change adaptation or GHG emission reduction plans, creating GHG emission inventories or adding climate change practices into daily municipal processes.
