Bidding for the Scottish Government's £10.3m Climate Change Fund (CCF) has been extended, and is now open to applications for the 2011/12 round.
The CCF scheme has already invested £27.4m in 331 projects across 261 communities between 2008 and 2011, helping reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 696,212 tonnes.
Among the projects supported so far are Barhill Community Interest Company, who received funding to create a network of climate champions. Residents from Barrhill and neighbouring villages engage with their communities to implement and promote energy conservation and other objectives aimed at achieving a sustainable environment.
Also, Milnbank Community Housing Association received funding to engaging the local residents through a Carbon Reduction Programme to build a Sustainable Community Nursery and Environmental Education Centre.
Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "Our new funding pot will empower more communities to realise their carbon saving potential and allow many more new groups to become involved."
