Climate & Energy Action Awards
The Climate and Energy Action Awards have recognized the efforts of small and large communities across BC in reducing community and corporate energy use and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. The Awards also recognize municipal leadership on climate change adaptation.
The awards are announced and celebrated each year during the Union of BC Municipalities Convention.
CEA Climate Action Solutions
We collaborate...really well! You can get involved with our work by finding out about the many ways we support local governments on climate and energy.
