Climate Reality Project Awards 2018
Iberdrola, awarded at the Climate Reality Awards 2018
Our company has been recognised for its work in the fight against climate change in the Climate Reality Awards 2018, the first edition of these awards in Spain. These awards are intended to put the fight against climate change on the front page of the social and political agenda.
The foundations of the fight against climate change in the Iberdrola group.
The Climate Reality Project
This initiative was created in 2006 by Al Gore, the Nobel Laureate and former Vice President of the United States to highlight the risks of climate change and the need to adopt emergency measures to reduce the consequences of global warming.
The Climate Reality Project currently has more than 15,000 climate leaders worldwide — more than 230 in Spain —, and works under the premise that the current generation is the only one with sufficient tools to reverse climate change and the last to have the opportunity to stop it.
