Are You and/or your Organization Climate Leaders?

In order to call national attention to exemplary leadership in response to climate change, the Climate Leadership Awards program is seeking its 2013 group of corporate, organizational and individual leaders. U.S. EPA and its three NGO partners -- The Climate Registry (The Registry), the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), and the Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO) -- are accepting applications for 2013 awards through October 12, 2012. EPA’s Climate Leadership Awards webpage details the application process.
