Ashden Awards
The Ashden Awards celebrate and reward visionary champions who are finding solutions to climate change that at the same time bring real social and economic benefits to their local communities.
They do this through an annual competition to find the best examples of simple, practical ways to cut CO2 emissions while also improving quality of life. Cash prizes are awarded to organisations in the UK and across the developing world who are harnessing technology, energy efficiency or renewable sources such as solar, wind or biomass to bring environmental and social benefits.
Ashden Award winners are held up as shining examples of what can be achieved with extensive coverage of their work in the worldwide media, participation in seminars and support to help their organisations grow.
Entries for 2009 open in June when details of this year’s winner’s and how to enter will be on their website: http://www.ashdenawards.org/
