"Well done to the winners and those highly commended but also well done to everyone on the shortlist. The evening was a fantastic showcase of positive climate action, and everyone should be very proud of what they are doing. It is easy to get overwhelmed by what we have to do to deliver net zero. If we work together and learn from each other we will achieve so much.

"Together we can…unlock net zero."
