The wide range of projects shows how serious planners, developers and communities are about putting the environment first. The Event will take place on Thursday 7 February in the London Hilton from 12.00pm. Baroness Andrews, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, will present the Silver Jubilee Cup to the winner.

Mike Ash, chief awards judge said: ?When people ask what are planners doing to reduce CO2 emissions we can point to real, practical examples of how hard we are all working to tackle climate change. These awards recognise just how seriously planners take that challenge and the broad range of ways in which success can be achieved.?
