CCCA Poster Awards
During the Klimatag, participants had the opportunity to rate the posters on display. Based on this, a jury awarded the poster prize.
The poster had to meet the following criteria:
- The poster is visually appealing and its message is clearly understandable.
- The content of the poster is of high scientific quality and innovative.
- The content of the poster has high scientific and societal relevance.
The jury re-evaluated the highest-rated posters from the audience and awarded prizes to the 3 posters that best fulfilled the criteria. Prizes were only awarded to posters whose authors were represented by at least one person at the award ceremony. The award ceremony took place on Thu, 13 April as part of the closing session.

CCCA Early Career Researcher Award
At the 23rd Klimatag, the annual CCCA Early Career Researcher Award was also presented. For the year 2023, the CCCA Early Career Researcher Award was given to Halliki Kreinin (WU Wien / WWU Münster) for the paper From "Decent work and economic growth" to "Sustainable work and economic degrowth": a new framework for SDG 8. Ms Kreinin presented the award-winning paper at the Klimatag in Session 5 - "Transformation" (V22).
With the Early Career Researcher Award, CCCA aims to shine a spotlight on and recognise the scientific achievements of young researchers. Submissions were made via a scientific publication, which was evaluated by renowned scientists. Each submitter received written feedback on their submitted paper. The highest-rated paper was awarded a prize of € 1,000 at the Klimatag and presented as a talk in a scientific session.
