In keeping with our motto: “Less talk more action”, we believe showcasing successful examples of concrete projects that contribute to climate protection and sustainable development is the best way to encourage replication and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future. We are therefore constantly seeking Good Practice Projects relating to developing and emerging countries which deliver a positive climate impact and set an example to others.
