If you have an organization or breakthrough that can suck up carbon emissions, melt ocean plastic; if you have a technology or idea that can improve human health, transform social conditions and farms for the world’s meekest. Have you a way to make sustainability a way of life in energy production, maybe in hydrogen gas, solar energy?
Do you have a converter or engineered product that transfers the way energy is used or delivered? Can you clean water like there is no tomorrow, or protect source water –– and make women in the world meaningful contributors to the businesses that they want to be in? If yes to any of these ideas and more, here is a list of prizes that might help you further your goals. Some come with cash prizes, and some with honor –– or both.
