These winners receive seed funding, intensive training and tailored mentoring to bring their big environmental ideas to life.
UN Young Champions of the Earth is a forward-looking prize designed to breathe life into the ambitions of brilliant young environmentalists. More than just an honorary title, the Young Champions of the Earth prize aims to nurture the next generation of environmental leaders.
