Since 2008, the Zayed Sustainability Prize has been a beacon of hope for global sustainability, recognising and empowering innovators who are driving positive change worldwide. 

The Zayed Sustainability Prize invites individuals, organisations, and schools from around the globe to showcase their innovative solutions and transformative impact in the fields of Health, Food, Energy, Water, Climate Action, and Global High Schools. From technology, community and education, every initiative can make a difference and is invited to be submitted.

To apply to the Zayed Sustainability prize you are invited to register through the online portal, thus beginning your application process. 

You can then submit your application with the help of the documents and FAQs answered on the website. 

Please note that the deadline is 23 June 2024, 5:00 PM EST. Once submitted, entries cannot be edited.

The judges of the Zayed Sustainability Prize include politicians, businessmen and women, and representatives of indigenous groups, covering all walks of life. 

Past winners have included NGOs working in sustainability around the world, from a Palestinian organisation working to promote agriculture in the Gaza strip before the war, to a Namibian organisation dedicated to the restoration of natural ocean wilderness. 

Schools worldwide have also been awarded the prize for innovative project plans and ideas. 

The prize money of 1,000,000 USD goes towards developing and sustaining the winning plans and projects. 

The Zayed Sustainability Prize is an opportunity to join a global community of changemakers dedicated to building a sustainable future for generations to come.
