EU Low-Carbon ‘World You Like Challenge’

The World You Like Challenge wants creative and innovative minds from across the EU to put their low-carbon initiatives to the test and inspire others to follow suit.

However big or small, any project that is helping to lower or avoid CO2 emissions and improve people’s quality of life can be submitted. We are looking for the most original and pioneering low-carbon initiatives. Entries are welcome from individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, public and private organisations - in fact, from anyone with good ideas!

We are looking forward to receiving entries about original and innovative projects with a concrete and tangible output. What matters is that the project contributes to avoiding, reducing or dealing with carbon emissions – on a technical or behavioural level. Your project should illustrate good practice and provide a role model for other people or organisations. If it has an impact on people’s everyday life, even better – that is what we are looking for! You can submit your project in one of the following five categories:

Building & living
Shopping & eating
Re-use & recycling
Travel & transport
Innovative production

Above all, we are looking for inspirational projects that show others how a world we like, with a climate we like, can be achieved and that can motivate people to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle.

The Challenge starts on 11 February 2013 and will be open for submissions until 14 June 2013. You can submit your project via our online form and showcase it using text, photos or videos on our website. After a short period of validation, your project will be posted online and become part of the virtual "world you like" on the campaign website. You will receive an automatic email confirmation once your project is published. An online map will show the location of all projects submitted. Moreover, each project will be showcased on an individual page to introduce it to the public.
