About the Frontiers Planet Prize
A 3 million US dollar prize to address the climate crisis
The threats to our planet’s health are reaching critical levels. And science tells us the window of opportunity to do something about them is limited. Transformative action must happen now.
A focused, accelerated process can address urgent global crises – the same way COVID-19 vaccines were developed in record time. So to mobilize the scientific community and highlight their work, we created the Frontiers Planet Prize.
The world’s biggest prize in scientific solutions for planetary health
Three prizes of 1 million USD each awarded annually to breakthrough research
Accelerating science to address the climate crisis, through global collaboration
Elevating breakthrough research to drive policy action and funding
To stabilize our planet’s ecosystem, scientists need greater funding, support, and visibility. Amplifying their work is crucial to driving policy change and tackling the urgent environmental challenges we face.
