Climate Change Challenge Funds Guidelines

Newfoundland and Labrador’s Climate Change Challenge Fund is now closed for applications.

The Climate Change Challenge Fund is a competitive, application-based grant program open to the private sector, not-for profit organizations, public sector bodies or boards, municipal governments, and Indigenous organizations to undertake greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Projects must cost effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fall under one or more of the following target areas:

  • Energy efficiency that results in reduced fossil fuel use
  • Fuel switching to reduce emissions
  • Process changes in the industrial sector
  • Adoption of new technologies that displace or eliminate on-site greenhouse gas emissions and
  • Carbon sequestration in agriculture and forestry sectors.

This $12-million investment in the province’s Climate Change Challenge Fund aims to improve energy efficiency, create economic growth, and effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The deadline for applications is Friday, April 11, 2025 and projects must be completed no later than December 31, 2028 to be eligible.
