Zurich Climate Prize 2009 - 2016

Tender in three categories

The Zurich Climate Prize promotes sustainable projects from the three categories of buildings & housing, production & consumption and transport & mobility.

The three areas have huge potential to reduce greenhouse gases, because the way we move, how we live and how we consume determines more than 87% of private greenhouse gas emissions.
