On 22 April 2021, we honoured 16 municipalities as winners of the 9th Climate Star competition.

Under the motto, We are change, Climate Alliance honoured a total of 16 success stories of local climate action across Europe, each showing how change affects us all – in everyday life, at work or in the transition to a better world. This special digital awards ceremony was made possible by the State of Lower Austria.
