In total, Climate Week is supported by over 180 organisations that represent a further 850,000 organisations and have 6 million individual members.


During Climate Week, organisations will have a unique opportunity to run events that profile their own initiatives and innovations to stakeholders and staff, customers and the community, members and the media.


Winners of the prestigious Climate Week Awards will be announced during Climate Week. Entries can be submitted right now in a range of categories which include initiatives by businesses, community groups and public services, new technological breakthoughs, artistic responses to climate change, and low-carbon products and services.


The Climate Week Challenge, also taking place during the week, will involve teams in schools and workplaces across the UK all doing the same task at the same time, in Britain’s biggest ever live environmental competition.


Organisations can help right now by starting to plan an event for the week, entering the Climate Week Awards or registering for the Climate Week Challenge. They can also help by spreading the word in advance, so that others find out about Climate Week in time to plan their own activities.


Individuals can help right now by asking the organisations they know – such as their workplace or local school – to run an event or activity for Climate Week. The event could be a talk, workshop, training session, open day, exhibition, party or any other kind of activity. All of them will help to build a massive movement for change that will inspire millions of people to act.
