About us
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.

🎉 We are delighted to see our nominee Build up Nepal make it through to be a finalist for The EarthShot Prize. Build up Nepal won the 2020 Ashden Award for their work helping women become construction entrepreneurs, by giving them machinery, training and support to build homes from compressed-earth blocks. These blocks are not only more sustainable than traditional fired bricks, but they also help create local jobs and drive climate-friendly innovation.
We're excited to introduce Build up Nepal, a 2024 Finalist who is working to Fix our Climate. With a bold vision to reduce emissions and construct sustainable homes that keep local communities safe from earthquakes, Build up Nepal is on a mission to scale their efforts and maximise impact.

Across the UK, thousands of community energy projects are driving sustainability efforts, helping to create greener, more resilient communities. However, many remain unaware of the scale and potential of these initiatives. 👉 2024 Ashden Award winner, ENERGISE BARNSLEY is an amazing example of how community energy can ensure a just transition to net zero, delivering both environmental and social benefits. Through a series of solar installations and energy storage projects, Energise Barnsley empowers local communities by providing access to renewable energy, lowering energy bills, and supporting residents in vulnerable situations. #CommunityEnergy #Sustainability #NetZero #EnergiseBarnsley #ClimateAction #GreenEnergy #EnergyTransition
