The Bristol Green Capital Partnership has submitted Bristol’s application to win the European Green Capital Award for 2015.
Having been shortlisted for 2010, and narrowly come runner up to Copenhagen for the 2014 award, it's now third time lucky.
Bristol is still the only UK city to have been shortlisted for the award, demonstrating that it is the UK’s leading city for sustainability.
If Bristol wins it will provide a platform for new investment and jobs in the low carbon economy.
The award is judged in two stages. Firstly, through a technical assessment process that looks at 12 subject areas such as energy, water consumption, waste, transport and green spaces. If we get through to the short list in May next year, we are then judged on our vision for the city, our ability to communicate on sustainability issues and finally our plan for 2015.
The winning city will then be announced at the end of June 2013.
