The third edition of the Climate Leaders Awards was made possible thanks to the collaboration of entities such as LG, Iberdrola, Coca Cola, El Corte Inglés, Signus, Cines Callao or Idel.

The gala, organised by the communication and audiovisual production agency Record Time and coordinated by Asociación Despierta, was emission neutral thanks to the collaboration with LG and its Smart Green project, a movement through which trees will be planted to compensate for the already reduced emissions of this online gala.

As has become traditional, the winners of this year’s edition received as a prize an unpublished work by the artist Miguel Vallinas representing Mother Earth.
