CPA ASIA REGION SECRETARIAT
1. Apply | CPA Green Mace Initiative
The CPA’s Green Mace Initiative serves as an acknowledgment of member Parliaments’ commitment to environmental and sustainability excellence. This initiative aims to recognise those who go above and beyond in their environmental practices, setting a standard for others to follow.
The Green Mace is a symbolic recognition in the form of a certificate awarded to the Parliament, adorned with a specially designed ‘Green Mace’ Mark, and a plaque for display within a Parliament. It provides an opportunity for the CPA and the individual Parliament to showcase their achievements and leadership in environmental sustainability.
In 2026, the first Parliaments to be awarded with the Green Mace Award will be recognised at the 69th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Cape Town, South Africa. Apply by 7 August 2026.
