Explore all of our past Climate Champions below. Note that in 2022 we transitioned to recognizing existing Climate Champions only if the star designation or category changed, rather than re-awarding for an organization each year.
Learn more about past Climate Champions in the press releases and video below, and take a look at the Climate Champion map, which features all of the past and present Climate Champions with details about their accomplishments.
