Case studies

The Climate Challenge Fund has helped some great projects that have successfully made significant carbon emissions reductions. Your community may even be able to visit these projects and learn from their experiences.

We have chosen these Success Stories to show just how wide a range of activities and people can be involved in a successful Climate Challenge Fund project.

If you'd like to know more about these great projects, please contact Keep Scotland Beautiful on 01786 471333 or email ccfenquiries@ksbscotland.org.uk.
