Community benefit funds: how can we enhance their impact?
Description
What is good practice for setting up and operating community benefit funds? And how do we make sure communities really do properly benefit from renewable energy (and other) projects?
In this episode, Fraser gets the low-down from Matt and Jen on a new framework from the Strathclyde Institute for Sustainable Communities that explores exactly these questions.
The framework is called "Guiding Principles and Actions for Enhancing Community Benefits from Community Benefit Funds".
