Green Municipal Fund – Climate-Ready Plans and Processes | Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM)

To qualify for funding, proposed activities must support your community in implementing measures that reduce impacts from climate-related events and hazards. Your plan should:

• Identify vulnerabilities and risks from multiple climate hazards such as extreme weather events, flooding, heatwaves, and changes in precipitation patterns.
• Integrate with existing municipal plans, such as asset management plans, to ensure cohesive and sustainable climate adaptation efforts.
• Promote equity and inclusivity strategies that ensure equitable climate adaptation, particularly for marginalized and equity-deserving communities.
• Enhance community resilience and result in tangible outcomes that improve the community’s ability to withstand and recover from climate impacts.
• Achieve measurable outcomes tied to your project’s objectives, including how it will reduce climate risks and benefit your community.

Eligible projects must also:

• Incorporate new or updated phases to an existing climate plan or integrate results from a new climate risk assessment. (Note: Retroactive funding is not available)
• Be capable of completion within two years from the date of grant approval
