Prague Allocates CZK 43 Million to Environmental Projects in 2025

The Prague City Council has approved a program to support environmental projects in 2025, allocating nearly 43 million crowns from its budget to fund initiatives that enhance public green spaces, promote ecological education, and adapt to climate change.

Applications for funding will be open from January 2 to January 13, 2025.

This initiative aims to encourage individuals, organizations, and associations to participate in improving the city’s environment through seven categories of projects.

These categories include programs for public greenery, circular economy innovations, nature conservation, climate change adaptation, and educational activities. For the second year in a row, circular economy projects will also be eligible for funding.

“The strategy for transitioning to a circular economy is one of the four foundational pillars of Prague’s Climate Plan until 2030,” stated Jana Komrsková, Deputy Mayor for the Environment and Climate Plan.

“Unlike traditional approaches that extract, use, and discard raw materials, a circular economy minimizes waste and keeps resources in use for as long as possible. This not only conserves resources but also improves urban living conditions.”

Projects eligible for funding include community composting, repair workshops, item-sharing programs, and sewing centers. These initiatives not only reduce environmental impact but also strengthen community ties and social cohesion.

Who Can Apply?

Both individuals and organizations, including churches, public universities, academies, and homeowners’ associations established for over a year, are invited to apply for the subsidies. Funding amounts vary by category:

• Public greenery, circular economy, nature conservation, and ecological education: Up to 450,000 crowns per project.
• Climate change adaptation and mitigation: Up to 600,000 crowns.
• Educational programs for schools: Up to 900,000 crowns.

Applications will undergo a two-stage review process, assessing compliance with formal requirements and evaluating content based on criteria such as purpose, necessity, effectiveness, cost efficiency, and feasibility.

Approved projects must be completed by the end of 2026, with funding decisions finalized by June 30, 2025.
