The Community Climate Action Programme (CCAP) is a new programme to support communities to take climate action at a local level. Clare County Council in association with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), is providing funding to local communities for projects that promote community climate action. The objective of the CCAP is to build low carbon, sustainable communities, which will, in turn contribute to the national climate and energy targets.


Clare County Council and the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications will fund twenty-six groups to complete projects over the next 18 months. Under Strand 1 of the programme: Building Low Carbon Communities a total of €572,000 has been allocated to twenty-three community groups around the county.
