WWF awards for innovative 'Climate Solver China' firms

The World Wide Fund for Nature announced the four winners of its first Climate Solver China Awards in Beijing last week, the first time it selected winners outside Sweden where the initiative began.

The awards are "the result of a yearlong search for products developed by small and medium-sized enterprises that are the elusive triple threat - innovative, adept at meeting a market need, and help reduce society's carbon emissions", said a WWF statement.

"We are looking for technologies that have it all," said Lu Lunyan, director of Climate and Energy Programs at WWF-China.
