We’re delighted to invite you to the online streaming of the Climate Challenge Cup Awards Ceremony; an evening of inspiration, networking, and celebration taking place at COP26.

No one can fight climate change alone. That's why the Climate Challenge Cup is celebrating civic research partnerships in the UK and US, where organisations are working collaboratively to tackle climate change.

This international competition is delivered by the research organisation, social investor and community practitioner, The Young Foundation, in the UK, and by MetroLab Network, a civic research and innovation collaborative, in the US.

Join us to discuss climate action and hear about innovative and scalable projects that are helping communities become more resilient to the effects of climate change, from wildfires to extreme flooding. You'll also hear from partnerships helping cities achieve their net zero targets.
