The Carbon Negative Challenge Fund supports York and North Yorkshire’s ambition to become England’s first carbon negative region. It is designed to back innovative, inspiring projects that help communities reduce emissions and accelerate decarbonisation across the region. Projects supported through the fund aim to deliver measurable impact, drive regional change, and act as blueprints for a low-carbon future.
More than £6.5million has been awarded to innovative projects across York and North Yorkshire as the region looks to trailblaze ways of reducing greenhouse gasses.
