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.
With the International Carbon Handprint Award, we want to highlight the solutions that have a major positive climate impact and help economies to reduce emissions or increase carbon sinks significantly.
There are two categories of award:
- The Most Climate-positive Carbon Handprint Product; and
- The High Potential Carbon Handprint Innovation
Criteria for The Most Climate-positive Carbon Handprint Product are:
- Carbon handprint impact by realized, verifiable carbon footprint reductions; and
- International potential for further carbon footprint reductions
Criteria for The High Potential Carbon Handprint Innovation are:
- International potential for carbon footprint reductions; and
- Proof that the new product is already in commercial use
