Our world is always changing. Look out your window long enough, and you might see the weather change. Look even longer, and you’ll see the seasons change. The Earth’s climate is changing, too, but in ways that you can’t easily see.
People are causing these changes and we are producing much more waste than ever before. At home or in our workplace we use items which need power to work and this power comes from burning fossil fuels and other natural sources. The more fuels we burn, the more CO2 gas we produce into the atmosphere, resulting in climate change.
The Junior Climate Challenge Fund (JCCF), which is part of the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund, administered by Keep Scotland Beautiful, gives young people the funds and support they need to take action on climate change in their own community.
Development grants are available to encourage pupils to investigate their own carbon footprint and that of their community through a variety of relevant and interesting themes such as Food or Transport.
