Climate Week 2011
What is Climate Week?
Climate Week is a national
occassion which will run from the 21 - 27 March. The
purpose of the week is to highlight the many possitive steps
which are already being taken to combat climate
change.
This is an excellent opportunity for businesses, schools,
councils and community groups to hold events to show what can be
achieved, share ideas and encourage others to get involved in the
year ahead.
At 9am on the first day of Climate Week a challenge will be
revealed on the website. Each team will then have 5 hours to
complete the challenge and send their chosen team proposal to
the Climate Week
national judging panel.
