“The Climate Challenge Cup shows a new kind of activism is taking hold,” said Helen Goulden, CEO of The Young Foundation, who awarded the trophies. 🏆 “It celebrates social, sustainable innovation that busts through silos, disciplines and sectors to bring actors with a shared vision but different resources together to create change that stands up to scrutiny.” The Young Foundation came to us to create eco-friendly awards for their new awards ceremony hosted in COP26’s official Green Zone. Focussing at local level to affect global change, this foundation is the centre for community research and social innovation.
