Environmental Prize 2026: Nominations Open (Apply by January 20)

Nominations are now open for the Environmental Prize 2026, inviting the global community to recognise individuals whose work has made a meaningful impact on the environment. The award honours outstanding contributions rooted in scientific research that extend beyond a single discipline and demonstrate real-world environmental impact.

If you know a researcher, academic, or practitioner whose work has advanced environmental protection, sustainability, or ecological understanding, you can nominate them using the official online nomination form.

About the Award

The Environmental Prize recognises individuals working across a wide range of environmental disciplines. Eligible work may span areas such as climate science, biodiversity, environmental policy, sustainable development, conservation, energy, or interdisciplinary environmental research.

While the nominee’s work should be scientifically grounded, it must also clearly show impact beyond academic research, such as influencing policy, practice, communities, or environmental outcomes.
