We celebrate and reward visionary champions who are finding solutions to climate change that are also bringing real social and economic benefits to their local communities.

Across the UK and developing world, our award winners are inspirational examples of simple, practical ways to cut CO2 emissions while also improving quality of life. Whether harnessing technology, energy efficiency or renewable sources such as solar, wind or biomass they’re all beacons that we use to encourage others to take the sustainable energy path.
