The Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) was launched by my Department on 13 February, with applications due by 15 April 2026.
The fund, which is totalling €6.5 million, is led the Creative Ireland Programme within my Department. It will be delivered in partnership with the Shared Island Initiative of the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment.
My Department is seeking proposals that respond creatively to key national climate priorities, including those set out in the Climate Action Plan 2025, the National Dialogue on Climate Action, and the work of the Just Transition Commission. The goal is to support ambitious projects that can bring together expertise from the arts and culture sector, climate science, and community engagement.
Grants of between €400,000 and €750,000 will be available for projects delivered over a 36 month period, with the aim of supporting organisations with the capacity to work in the intersection of culture and climate, and experience in delivering public engagement projects at scale.
