APPLY NOW: UN Environment Young Champions of the Earth Prize 2023 for young environmental leaders

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has issued a call for nominations for its annual Champions of the Earth award, the UN’s highest environmental honor, to recognize outstanding leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector who have had a transformative impact on the environment.

This year, UNEP is seeking nominations for individuals, organizations, and governments that are creating and implementing innovative and sustainable plastic pollution solutions and policies.

The challenge of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature loss and pollution and waste is not insurmountable.

The Champions of the Earth award honours individuals, groups, and organisations whose actions have a transformative impact on the environment.  This year, UNEP seeks nominations of individuals, organisations, and governments working on sustainable solutions to eliminate plastic pollution.
