Established in 2008, the Zayed Sustainability Prize is the global award given by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to recognize excellence in sustainability. The award, intended for small to medium-sized enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and global high schools that are implementing impactful sustainable solutions, is a tribute to the legacy of humanitarianism and commitment to sustainability of the late first UAE President, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
With less than two weeks remaining until the close of submissions, the Zayed Sustainability Prize and DevelopmentAid are delighted to co-organize a webinar on the specifics of the award and how to submit a strong application. The guest speaker will guide you through the various categories of the Prize, including the recently announced Climate Action category, and provide valuable tips on how to develop an application that stands out from the competition.
If you are a small to medium-sized enterprise, nonprofit organization, or high school with an impactful, innovative and inspiring solution in sustainability, you could be eligible for the Prize and have the opportunity to increase your impact on the world.
The Zayed Sustainability Prize is committed to empowering innovators and entrepreneurs to make a positive impact on our planet. Today, the Prize boasts 15 years of global impact with over 378 million people around the world benefiting from the solutions created by its 106 winners.
We encourage you to apply for the US$3.6 million Prize, with each winner in the Health, Food, Energy, Water and Climate Action categories eligible to receive US$600,000 to expand the scope and scale of their sustainability solution(s), while the Global High Schools category has six winners, representing six world regions, with each winner receiving up to US$100,000.
