Zayed Future Energy Prize launches COP21 social media campaign

ABU DHABI, 18th November, 2015 (WAM) -- The Zayed Future Energy Prize, the UAE’s international prize for energy and sustainability pioneers, recently launched its #ActionSpeaksLouder campaign. The social media campaign calls on people from the UAE and across the globe to like, share, and download their ‘call to action’ images if they support the aim to find a global agreement at the COP21 climate talks taking place in Paris in December. The images feature members of the prize’s jury committee, including Sir Richard Branson, and a collection of previous winners that span the eight years that the prize has been in existence. Those wishing to be part of this campaign should follow @ZFEP on twitter or look out for the hashtag #ActionSpeaksLouder across social media platforms. In December, world leaders will meet in Paris for the COP21 Climate Conference. These negotiations will set the agenda surrounding climate action for decades to come. The UAE’s leadership in this field means the country plays a pivotal role in turning this opportunity into action. The campaign will run from now until the middle of December to coincide with the end of the COP21 meeting. – Emirates News Agency, WAM -
