Climate Star

Putting local success stories in the spotlight

With the Climate Star Award, we recognise the climate action work of our members from across Europe.

Sharing positive examples, highlighting success stories, rewarding local ambition – that’s what our Climate Star competition is all about. The competition provides a platform to recognise the impressive and creative solutions developed by our members from across Europe.

Climate Alliance has been conferred the Climate Star Awards every two years since 2002. The competition and the awards ceremony are organised jointly by Climate Alliance Lower Austria and Climate Alliance Europe with the support of the Province of Lower Austria. The next edition is expected to take place in 2026.
