A year on from our evolution into the Zayed Sustainability Prize, from the former Zayed Future Energy Prize, we are moving forward with the impact we continue to encourage and influence. Since 2008, the Prize’s has, directly and indirectly, impacted 318 million lives worldwide.
As we continue to expand and take the message of Sheikh Zayed’s sustainability and humanitarian vision to more and more people across the world, for the 2020 awards, the Prize is again reaching out. We are once
again looking out to the next generation of pioneers and innovations that will be responsible for delivering a
more sustainable future for us all.
If you have a sustainable solution - or know of a small-to-medium sized business or non-profit organisation - that can provide solutions in healthcare, hunger and malnutrition, light up off-grid communities or deliver safe and affordable drinking water, then get involved! For high schools, if you are hoping to realise your idea to deliver impact within your school and local community with an innovative project then we need to hear about it.
With the submissions phase open until 30 May 2019, there is still time to submit an entry for consideration and stand a chance to become one of the 2020 winners to claim part of the annual US$ 3 million prize fund.
