Spotlight 2021
How can we activate 100'000 people for the climate?
In the summer of 2021, we launched the first Clima Now Spotlight call. The goal was to find ideas that would motivate as many people as possible to take climate-positive action. The projects were to answer the question, "How we activate 100,000 people for the climate?"
Over 150 ideas were submitted, 30 were selected by the expert jury and seven were voted into the final by the community. On December 9, 2021, the finalists presented their ideas live on stage at the Spotlight Pitch Night at KOSMOS Zurich.
