Applications now closed for the 2021 UN Global Climate Action Awards
Applications for our 2021 Global Climate Action Awards are now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied this year. We received more than 700 applications across three categories, a new record!

The challenging task of selecting the most transformational climate action projects from hundreds of outstanding applications is currently underway. Shortlisted projects will be sent to our expert Advisory Panel for review by the end of June. The Advisory Panel is expected to select this year's winning activities by August.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate their game-changing projects, especially during these challenging times.

Winning projects will be announced this autumn, and we hope to celebrate them at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) in Glasgow, Scotland, this year. Stay tuned!
Celebrating climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean
Latin American and the Caribbean Regional Climate Week took place this month. The virtual sessions took the pulse of climate action in the region, explored climate challenges and opportunities, and showcased ambitious solutions.

To celebrate, we featured five climate action projects, which are all former Global Climate Action Award winners in the region.

Read about them in the UN Climate Change blog.
