Overview:
The focus of the 2017 contest is “Building local resilience to climate disaster risk”.
Floods, drought, heat waves and other extreme weather and climate events pose threats to persons and communities: losses in life and health, economic damages, displacement, and compromise access to basic needs and services, such as water, food, energy, transport, communication or education.
2017 Best Climate Practices Contest aims to award and promote actionable ideas and concrete projects designed to support urban and/or rural communities in preparing and responding to climate disasters, improving local resilience through enhanced preparedness (ex-ante) and/or recovery (ex-post) capacity.
Who can participate:
The contest is open to anyone, regardless of nationality, age or qualification.
Proposals can be submitted by individual users, teams or organizations.
