We’ve helped previous winners gain coverage at Sky News, The Telegraph, Times of India, Al Jazeera, New Scientist , and other leading platforms.
- Award winners’, views, needs, and insights are at the heart of our influential reports, toolkits, and events – which shape the views of key climate decision-makers.

Eligibility:
- Businesses, NGOs, government organisations, social enterprises, and community groups are all eligible. Work must be currently available to clients, customers or beneficiaries.
- The work submitted for an award should be innovative. It might feature new technology, new approaches to marketing and distribution, or a new way of sharing training and skills. It might involve improved financing mechanisms or an innovative business model.
- Work should also have the potential to create a significant impact. This impact might be a large drop in greenhouse gas emissions, raised incomes, better health, reduced inequality, or a combination of positive outcomes. The impact might be achieved by the growth of the organisation applying, or by the spread of their ideas to other organisations.
- Initiatives should boost resilience and be as participatory and democratic as possible – designed and run with input from the people they support, particularly marginalised groups. Applicants should also show good governance and management.
