Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029)

Creative Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of a new €6.5 million Creative Climate Action Fund. It will support imaginative, large-scale, creative, cultural and artistic initiatives that support communities around climate change and empower people to make meaningful behavioral change.

The Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) is an initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme in partnership with the Shared Island Initiative and the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications.
The fund will support ambitious, durational projects that bring together expertise from the creative sectors, climate science, and community engagement.

We are seeking proposals that respond creatively to Ireland’s 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.

Funding between €400,000 and €750,000 is available for large-scale, public engagement projects, running from 2026 to 2029.

Applications open on February 16, 2026 and close on Wednesday 15th April 2026.
