Champions of the Earth: It's Time For Nominations!
17 September 2010
The 2011 Champions of the Earth, the United Nations’ flagship environmental award, is now open and will close October 31.
The Award seeks to recognize some of the best and brightest individuals – those who take action through visionary thinking, unwavering dedication and action towards global green growth.
UNEP will select a laureate for each of the following categories:
• Policy Leadership
• Science & Innovation
• Entrepreneurial Vision
• Inspiration & Action
Each winner will receive a $40,000 cash prize and a commemorative trophy during an Award Ceremony and Gala Dinner to be held on 28 April 2011.
The previous editions rewarded people ranging from a Prime Minister to scientists, from NGO leaders to a photographer. Last year the six winners came from all over the world, from China to South America passing through the Maldives and Afghanistan.
