It is time to find, test and support new solutions for the climate. To do this, we need to reach and mobilize many more people than before. This is where Spotlight programme participants come in. Each year Clima Now is organizing a Spotlight event where a few selected projects can pitch their idea and in the end, three of them will get financial support from the foundation. This year it’s all about “Reducing Your FOODprint”.
