Celebrating 10 years of environmental excellence

The Green Globe Awards are the leading environmental awards in New South Wales.

Now in its tenth year, the NSW Government's Green Globe Awards showcase outstanding achievements in the sustainable use of natural resources in NSW and leadership in tackling climate change.

The 2009 Green Globe Awards are open to individuals and organisations within the private, public and community sectors who can demonstrate outstanding achievement in:

sustainability and climate change leadership
water, energy and waste savings
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
adaptation to climate change.

This year, the Department of Environment and Climate Change NSW has introduced new Community, Local Government and Media Awards to celebrate the achievements of leaders in these fields.

Nominations for the 2009 Green Globe Awards have now closed.

Winners will be selected by an independent panel of expert judges and announced at a gala event hosted by the Hon. Carmel Tebbutt, Minister for Climate Change and the Environment on Tuesday 28 July 2009.
