Press Release: The European Commission in search of the best climate solutions in Europe

On 11 February 2013, Connie Hedegaard, EU Commissioner for Climate Action, launches a low-carbon contest, calling on creative and innovative minds from across the EU to put their green initiatives to the test. The World You Like Challenge is part of the European Commission's climate action campaign: A world you like.

The contest is part of the campaign "A world you like. With a climate you like". Since its launch in October 2012, the campaign has attracted more than 20.000 followers on social media and more than 130 official partners including public authorities, non-governmental organisations, academia and businesses. It aims to showcase existing cost-efficient solutions for achieving the EU's objective of an 80-95% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as well as to encourage new solutions.
