The search for the winners of The Earthshot Prize 2022 has begun and New Energy Nexus is proud to be an official Nominator. Launched in 2020 and with the first incredible winners announced in October 2021, The Earthshot Prize is the most prestigious global environment prize in history, aiming to find new solutions to the world’s biggest environmental problems.
As an Official Nominator, we are one of over 300 organisations from across the world, invited to submit nominations across all five Earthshot categories, selected for our ability to identify the most impactful solutions across all sectors, from grassroots to businesses.
We will be nominating individuals, communities, businesses and organisations whose solutions make the most progress towards achieving the five Earthshots – simple but ambitious goals which if achieved by 2030 will improve life for us all, for generations to come.
The Earthshot Prize will consider solutions which make tangible progress towards one of the five Earthshots. They should be beyond idea stage, have tested their solution in–field or with target audiences, and are at a ‘tipping point’ for scaling their impact within the next five years.
The Earthshots are:
1. Protect and Restore Nature
2. Clean our Air
3. Revive our Oceans
4. Build a Waste–Free World
5. Fix our Climate
If you have a solution that is inspiring, inclusive and impactful, please write to haley.nieh@newenergynexus.com for a further discussion. You can find out more about the Prize, our role as an Official Nominator, and the five–stage process to selecting winners at www.earthshotprize.org.
After nominations are submitted, they are screened as part of a rigorous assessment process culminating in selection of five winners by the Earthshot Prize Council.
Finalists and winners are given an incredible platform to amplify their work, as well as tailored support from The Earthshot Prize and our network of NGOs, businesses, governments, funders and expert mentors. The five winners also receive a one–of–a–kind award and a one–million–pound grant to scale their impact.
