Stuart McMillan MSP has welcomed significant new funding for Inverclyde from the SNP Scottish Government to support local communities in tackling the climate emergency.
Inverclyde Climate Action Hub is set to receive £102,000 of funding to support grassroots climate projects throughout Inverclyde. The funding is part of £6 million of funding being delivered by the SNP Scottish Government across Scotland in 2025-26.
The hubs encourage and support climate action unique to Inverclyde. Across the country this ranges from flood mitigation, repair shops and local energy generation to food growing and tree planting.
The funding honours a key Scottish Government commitment to ensure that every part of the country has access to support for localised climate action. A total of 24 Climate Action Hubs have now been established.
Commenting, Stuart said:
“This £102,000 funding is fantastic news for Inverclyde. This is a vital step in empowering our communities to lead the transition to a greener, fairer future.
“The Inverclyde Climate Hub is a brilliant example of grassroots action in motion. It’s about enabling people to take meaningful climate action in ways that work for our area and doing so in a way that brings people together, builds resilience, and strengthens our communities.
“With climate change being one of the biggest challenges we face, we need local solutions as well as national leadership, and that is what John Swinney’s SNP Government are delivering for the people of Inverclyde.”
