Climate Action: Race to Zero
INNOVATION AWARDS
Our planet is under pressure. So are the generations who inherit it. It’s time to focus on climate solutions and on the young pioneers pushing them forward. The world is coming together at the COP26 conference in November to try to limit global warming to 1.5°, which is widely seen as a last chance for averting climate catastrophe.
Climate Action: Race to Zero seeks to harness the creativity, energy, commitment and action of young people all over the world to address climate change. Together with our partners, we’re calling all innovators tackling climate action to join our Race to Zero initiative – a series of challenges and awards for outstanding ideas.
