Projects to improve the environment across Liverpool and the wider area have been awarded funding of £500,000.
The 58 successful schemes are set to contribute to the city region's target of being net carbon zero by 2040.
They include creating community gardens, wild flower meadows and reducing food waste.
Mayor Steve Rotheram said "tackling the climate crisis" had been one of his top priorities and he was "excited" to see the impact of the plans.
He added: "It's not something we can tackle alone and that's why I launched the Community Environment Fund - to empower local communities to take action to improve their local environment.
"Together, lots of small actions can help us make a big contribution to making our region cleaner, greener and more sustainable."
