We are very excited to be entering the Climate Change Leadership Awards for the third year in a row!

The CCLA are the first awards in South Africa, and Africa, that recognize, reward, motivate and celebrate businesses, communities, youth, schools and individuals that are taking the lead through positive voluntary action by implementing a range of activities to combat global warming. The CCLA contribute significantly to inspiring and promoting awareness and action towards a low carbon economy, and thus a healthier society and a more sustainable planet. Now you can be rewarded for your efforts in saving our planet.

If you feel you have what it takes to be a climate change leader, enter now! Entries close on 10 February!
