Monday 11 May for a chance to have it showcased at the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, next year.
We are looking to recognize and celebrate concrete action on climate change by organizations, cities, businesses, schools, governments and other key players. To learn more and apply, please visit https://momentum.unfccc.int
Shining Light on Climate Solutions
There's a lot of bad news out there right now. But we also believe in the power of climate action to uplift and inspire.
That's why UN Climate Change is hosting a series of live, online conversations on LinkedIn.
We want to discuss how your climate action has impacted people on the ground, how it has impacted your business/organization/project and helped in the fight against climate change.
Through your stories we want to inspire other organizations, businesses, cities or investors to join UN Climate Change initiatives like Momentum for Change.
We were pleased to kick off the first conversation in the series this morning with Dale Vince, Chairman of the Forest Green Rovers and Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power. Both Dale and Inna are former winners of our Global Climate Action Award.
The UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) set to take place in Glasgow in November has been postponed due to COVID-19.
Dates for a rescheduled conference in 2021, hosted in Glasgow by the UK in partnership with Italy, will be set out in due course following further discussion with parties.
Rescheduling will ensure all parties can focus on the issues to be discussed at this vital conference and allow more time for the necessary preparations to take place. We will continue to work with all involved to increase climate ambition, build resilience and lower emissions.
Applications for the 2020 UN Global Climate Action Awards are being accepted until 11 May 2020 at: https://momentum.unfccc.int
