UN Global Climate Action Awards

Organisations, businesses, universities, governments and others taking bold leadership on climate change can nominate their work for a special 10th anniversary edition of the UN Global Climate Action Awards. The deadline is on Friday 30th April 2021.

The annual UN Global Climate Action Award programme, run by United Nations Climate Change since 2011, recognises the world’s most innovative, scalable and replicable examples of action to tackle climate change.

This year’s awards will showcase people and projects taking bold and effective climate action in the areas of climate neutrality, innovative climate finance and climate leadership.

The 2021 award winners will be celebrated at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) in Glasgow, Scotland, in November – the most important climate conference since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015.

A special new award category called ‘Climate Leaders’ has been added for 2021. It will recognise transformational and replicable government action and ambition at any level (national, regional, city, town, etc.).

The deadline is on Friday 30th April 2021.
