UN competition Momentum for Change Award
Bonn · The UN wants to hear from people who are active in addressing climate change. Applications are being accepted for the 2017 Momentum for Change Award. The deadline is April 9.
Does your organization or community have an outstanding project for tackling climate change? Applications are now being accepted by the United Nations in conjunction with their “Momentum for Change” competition. Any organizations, communities, cities, businesses or governments which are taking concrete action on climate change can apply to have their project recognized.
Chosen projects will be part of the 2017 “Lighthouse Activities” and winners will receive special benefits such as full attendance to the 2017 UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn and a chance to make connections and gain support.
The competition is being spearheaded by the Climate Change Secretariat in Bonn. They want to take notice of what people around the world are doing to tackle climate change, with the hope that these examples can be replicated in other corners of the world.
Those who apply must choose one of five different areas of focus: leadership of women in addressing climate change, financing mechanisms, ICT solutions, solutions that balance human health and a healthy planet, and efforts to achieve climate neutrality.
