Climate Week is a supercharged


national


campaign to inspire a new wave of action on climate change. Thousands of events and activities are taking place throughout the week of 4 to 10 March 2013, 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. I’m proud to support


Climate Week which is backed by every part of society – with musicians like Paul McCartney, the NHS to the Met Office, the TUC to the CBI, Girl Guiding 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.


Week Awards recognise the most


The prestigious Climate 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


Sustainability Unit, the former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, and the Bishop of London. The Climate Week Swap


is a new element to the campaign for 2013, highlighting the positive impact that swapping clothes, books, toys, DVDs and other items can have on our environment. Run a swap event in your workplace, with your community group or at home and save resources from going to landfill. All those who register a Swap event will be entered into a draw to win a swap with a celebrity.


There are a number of International


other elements to the campaign. Bubble and Squeak for Climate Week is encouraging people to make the food that they eat a part of the solution to climate change. They can do this by joining in the call to action of eating a low carbon meal during Climate Week, either by using up leftovers to make Bubble and Squeak or by cooking food made from local ingredients or less meat and dairy. The Climate Week Pub Quiz will be run in hundreds of pubs and workplaces. You can get involved


right now by participating in a Climate Week event in the local area.
