The Impact Award for Climate.
Who do you know that's taking action on climate change? They might be leading the charge for renewable energy or sustainable transport at the local school or university, planting out native forests to help sequester carbon and support biodiversity, or leading advocacy efforts for bolder action in big business or government – can you help celebrate our next generation of climate leaders?
Is this award for you?
This category is relevant for any young New Zealander taking action to make a difference on climate change. For example, you might be a young professional advocating for policy change(s) in your workplace or making your organisation carbon-neutral. You might be a student campaigning to get your school or university powered by 100% renewable energy. You might be leading initiatives or creating innovations to reduce carbon emissions in smart-transport or in agriculture. The opportunity for leadership and innovation in the climate space is huge.
