Best Climate Practices for Energy Poverty Alleviation

In the effort to harness the collective brilliance and promote a wide range of valuable proposals, every year the Best Climate Practices observatory invites the users to submit innovative best practices to tackle climate change or to face a related challenge.

The competition is sponsored by ICCG's Best Climate Practices Observatory and is open to best practices related to the issues of energy poverty as actions liable to mitigate or aid in adapting to climate change. The competition is open to:

  • original ideas just waiting to be realized,
  • already existing innovative projects that deserve to be replicated in different economic and socio-geographical contexts.

A panel of experts will evaluate the practices and will award the Experts' Choice Award: a precious Murano glass art item fashioned by a famous master craftsman. The author of the practice that receives the highest number of votes by the website's users between October 16th and 31st, 2014 will win the Users' Choice Award: the production of a promotional video of his or her practice.

The winners will be invited to accept their awards at the fourth edition of the Think Forward Film Festival (Venice, December 12-13, 2014), the ICCG film festival on climate change and renewable energy. The winners of each practice will also benefit from the opportunity to make contact with a broad network of institutions and potential investors, and will see their practice publicized through the communication channels of the International Center for Climate Governance.
