Join NESTA as it launches its £1m community climate change prize

NESTA would like to invite you to attend the launch of our Big Green Challenge in your region and find out how to get involved. This UK-wide prize fund will reward groups and organisations who can find new and better ways for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in their community - we'll explain more about the rules and eligibility at the event.

You will have the chance to hear from local MSP Robin Harper; ask questions and get more information from NESTA staff and our partner UnLtd; hear from a group in your area already doing something different to tackle climate change; and network with other groups and with organisations who might be able to support your entry.

We look forward to meeting you in Edinburgh. In the meantime stay in touch with progress at www.biggreenchallenge.org.uk.

For more information on NESTA please visit www.nesta.org.uk.

Refreshments will be available from 9.45am with the presentation starting promptly at 10.00am
