Climate emergency funding

What we want to achieve

The development of a robust financial strategy that will support our transition to a net zero carbon future.

How we will do this

We have set out a range of actions for how Medway can respond to the climate emergency. These range from actions that the council will take to lead by example, to those that will support the community to act.

Our progress so far

  • From April 2021 to March 2022, £500,000 of funding was received due to 6 successful bids to support climate change projects in Medway.
  • Medway Tree Fund launched at the end of 2020. Anyone living, visiting, or working in Medway can donate towards the next generation of trees in Medway. The first tree paid for by the Medway Tree Fund was planted in 2021. Make a donation to the Medway Tree Fund online.
