Residents will be able to apply for an Auckland Climate Grant soon.

At the Environment and Climate Change Committee on September 8, councillors voted to approve the criteria and priorities for the grants that are part of the 10-year Recovery Budget.

The aim is to support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or build climate resilience through community-based action.

Some focus areas for the grants will be low carbon transport systems, local food projects, projects for a climate disaster resilient Auckland and Māori-led projects to reduce emissions.

The grants will be aimed at a community and household-led response rather than major infrastructure. Response grants will range from $1000 to $15,000, while strategic projects will be eligible for grants of up to of up to $50,000.

Council hopes to call for applications this month, with the allocation of funds before the end of the year.
