1million Just Transition PB fund results announced across North-east and Moray
Following last year’s online public vote, residents in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray can now find out which local eco-friendly projects will receive a share of £1million in funding from the Scottish Government’s Just Transition Participatory Budgeting (PB) Fund.
Details of the 46 projects supported by this year’s funding pot have been released, showcasing initiatives that promote environmental sustainability and community improvement. From eco-friendly building upgrades to the introduction of community electric vehicles, the projects span a wide range of creative, impactful solutions that support Scotland’s transition to a greener, net zero future.
During November 2024, the process saw thousands of people participate in a public vote to determine which projects were supported, ensuring the final decisions reflect the priorities of local residents. Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray each received £333,333 to distribute among projects which saw initiatives supported from local third sector and community organisations.
Since launching in 2022, the Just Transition PB Fund has allocated £3.5million to 145 eco-friendly projects across the North-east of Scotland and Moray. The fund is delivered locally on behalf of the Scottish Government by ACVO TSI, Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action, tsiMoray, Money for Moray and NESCAN Hub.
