The 2021 UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) is coming to Glasgow, bringing world leaders from across the globe together to discuss what can be done to address the issue of climate change. NatWest is committed to tackling climate change and as a Principal Partner of COP26, we created the MoneySense Climate Savers competition for schools, offering pupils and teachers the chance to win great prizes.
Primary school pupils were challenged to create Top Trumps cards showing positive actions they could take to help the planet – and potentially save money at the same time. 26 winning designs (view gallery) were selected to be included in a special MoneySense Climate Savers edition of Top Trumps, distributed at COP26.
