GwyrddNi is a community-based, community-led climate action movement that brings  people together in five areas of Gwynedd to discuss, share and act locally to tackle climate change. 

GwyrddNi is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund, and is delivered by DEG in partnership with five other local, community organisations; Partneriaeth Ogwen in Dyffryn Ogwen, Cyd Ynni in Dyffryn Peris, Yr Orsaf in Dyffryn Nantlle, Cwmni Bro in Bro Ffestiniog, and Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw in Pen Llŷn. 

During 2022-2023 we hosted a series of four Community Assemblies on the Climate in these five areas, facilitating five community-generated Climate Action Plans. We now have funding until 2027 to start bringing the ideas to life. 

We also worked with 19 schools across the five GwyrddNi areas; the Education Programme included a variety of sessions on climate change and local climate solutions, along with an opportunity to visit a range of climate solutions in each community. Going forward, GwyrddNi’s education work also continue, with a range of activities and a chance for collaboration available to schools and colleges in the five areas, and plans to develop learning opportunities for adults underway.

By the end of the process, each community had chosen a series of ideas to prioritise, including some from the school children. You can read these project ideas in the Community Climate Action Plans on our website: https://www.gwyrddni.cymru/en/cynlluniau-gweithredu/

GwyrddNi has now received four and a half years of further funding from The National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund to further support the communities’ work: £500,000 of funding will be available for the projects, divided equally over the five areas, in order to continue to implement the ideas from the Action Plans.

GwyrddNi’s education work will also continue, with a range of activities and an offer to collaborate available to schools and colleges in the five areas, and plans to develop learning opportunities for adults are underway.
