Travel Subsidies
Would you like to come to the Summit but can’t afford to come? Send an email stating why you should be supported. Some reasons could be that you are too financially pressed to afford the travel but you are keen to participate and you will be endorsed by your CAG. Another reason could be that you have a long distance to travel which makes travel very expensive.
To apply send an email to climateactionsummit@gmail.com and we will consider your application. You may get part funding or full funding depending on how many applications are received and how needy they are. Get in quickly so we can take advantage of cheaper flights and so you don’t miss out. The final date for requests is Monday 16th April.
