The
2013 Climate Week will take place throughout the week of 4-10 March. Climate Week is a national campaign to inspire a new wave of action on climate change. It culminates with thousands of events and activities taking place throughout the week, planned by organisations from every part of society. Showcasing real, practical ways to combat climate change, the campaign aims to renew our ambition to create a more sustainable, low-carbon future.
Climate Week's organisers say the campaign is backed by every part of society - from the Prime Minister to Paul McCartney, the NHS to the Met Office, the TUC to the CBI, Girlguiding UK to the National Association of Head Teachers. During the first Climate Week in 2012 over 3,000 events were attended by half a million people across the UK.
The
Climate Week Awards recognise the most inspirational and impressive actions taking place in every sector of society. The judging panel contains figures such Tony Juniper, Special Advisor to the Prince of Wales Charities International Sustainability Unit, the former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, and the Bishop of London.
You can register now for the
Climate Week Challenge, which is judged by celebrities and it is completely free to take part. The Climate Week Challenge in 2012 was Britain's biggest ever environmental competition, with over 130,000 people participating in the one day and one-hour versions.
In addition the Climate Week Pub Quiz will be run in hundreds of pubs and workplaces. This aims to take a witty and irreverent look at issues of climate change and sustainability.
Climate Week's organisers are urging organisations and individuals to get involved by starting to
plan an event for Climate Week. This provides a unique opportunity to profile your own initiatives and innovations to stakeholders and staff, customers and the community, members and the media. You can also spread the word in advance, so that others find out about Climate Week in time to plan their own activities.
