International Carbon Handprint Award

Climate Leadership Coalition (CLC) and Vancouver Economic Commission, launched the world’s first International Carbon Handprint Award at the GLOBE Forum in Vancouver in March 2022. Vancouver Economic Commission serves one of the world’s fastest-growing, low-carbon economies and CLC is the largest climate business network in Europe.
