The International Champions of the Frontiers Planet Prize, a new global sustainability competition chaired by Johan Rockström, have been announced on April 27th. The Prize recognizes and rewards scientists whose research contributes to the future of the planet within the framework of the nine planetary boundaries.
The competition was officially launched on 22 April 2022 -Earth Day- by the Frontiers Research Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Lausanne, Switzerland, whose mission is to accelerate scientific solutions to live healthy lives on a healthy planet.
Endorsed by the International Science Council in its search for the most impactful research breakthroughs, the competition engaged 233 universities across six continents, 13 national academies of science, and an independently run jury of 100 sustainability experts, chaired by Johan Rockström.
On this year’s Earth Day, 22 April, the second edition of the competition was launched. It aims to increase the participation of scientists, research institutions and national academies across the globe, with the goal to continue mobilizing the scientific community for solutions to keep us within the boundaries of our planet’s ecosystem.
