Carbon Reduction Project - St Pauls Cathedral, Dundee

Published

St Paul’s Cathedral is being supported by Climate Challenge Fund in the St Pauls Energy Saving Challenge to help cut local carbon emissions.


We are absolutely delighted that our carbon reduction project has secured a £150,000 share of the £15.3 million made available through the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund (CCF).  The CCF is a Scottish Government grant programme, managed and administered by Keep Scotland Beautiful. The CCF provides funding and support for community groups to help tackle climate change by running projects that reduce local carbon emissions.  Our project at St Paul’s is aimed at educating the congregation and wider community about how we can all help to reduce carbon emissions.  Part of the project will also include the installation of an energy efficient lighting system in the Cathedral itself reducing carbon emissions through lighting by over 72%.  The CCF has awarded 1,097 grants totalling £101 million to 658 communities since its introduction in 2008, for projects involving energy efficiency, sustainable travel, local food and resource efficiency.  Further information at www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/ccf
