The Climate Ready Places Grant is to enable your community to consider what the impacts from these climatic changes and extreme weather will look like in your local area and to identify ideas for how you prepare to respond to them. The Climate Ready Places Grant will enable your group to host a workshop, which can be facilitated by the Lanarkshire Climate Action Hub and which will look at how your community can prepare for a changing climate. The workshop will gather observed local insights, consider the list of climate impacts from Adaptation Scotland and map this information onto a plan of your area. From the insights gathered at your workshop, your group can use the Community Climate Adaptation Routemap to identify climate actions and future projects and prioritise a climate action project to begin and which is funded through this grant. All activity including the workshop and the climate action project must be completed by 31st March 2026.
