Ashden recognized Plymouth Energy Community as an Ashden Award winner for its work on nature-based solutions and flooding.

Ashden's mission is to accelerate transformative climate solutions and build a more just world. Our awards, events, networks and analysis support outstanding climate innovation. We boost the pioneers delivering a zero carbon future – and creating new jobs, better health, and stronger communities along the way. Our work switches on clean energy for rural villages and refugee camps. It tackles fuel poverty, by making homes warm and energy-efficient. It powers green jobs, and zero-carbon schools. It defends and restores nature. And it supports local climate action, so everyone can shape – and benefit from – the journey to a fair and sustainable tomorrow. We create change with support for trailblazing organisations, such as grants, learning opportunities, publicity, and connections to funders and investors. And we use their stories to inspire and guide politicians and other decision makers, raising ambition and revealing the power of inclusive climate action. Find out more at www.ashden.org.
