These partnerships will allow communities to develop climate action and resiliency plans.<\/p>\n<p>The Climate Action Fund provides up to $3 million annually to support projects delivered by students, youth, Indigenous peoples and organizations, not-for-profit organizations, small and medium-sized businesses, and research and educational institutions that raise awareness of climate change and encourage others to take meaningful climate action.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Business-Climate Initiative was created in order to increase the capacity of small and medium-sized businesses to recognize the risks and impacts of climate change on their sector while providing them with the tools to increase their resilience and, thus, their economic sustainability. Eco-West Canada is proud to partner with the federal government for the delivery of this initiative.
