Environment and Climate Change Canada through the Indigenous Leadership Fund, a new program under the Low Carbon Economy Fund, will provide up to $180 million – by 2029 – to support climate action by Indigenous Peoples. The program will fund Indigenous-owned and led renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon heating projects, as part of the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan.
Funding will support projects that:
- Are Indigenous-owned and led,
- Advance Indigenous climate leadership,
- Support the self-determined climate, social, and economic priorities of Indigenous Peoples.
Funding Streams:
Environment and Climate Change Canada will deliver the program using a distinctions-based approach and will be working and communicating directly with Indigenous governments, communities, and organizations to deliver funding to support projects. The three distinctions-based funding streams are:
- First Nations
- Inuit
- Métis
