2007 UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT
PROGRAMME SASAKAWA PRIZE
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
and The Nippon Foundation launched the new UNEP Sasakawa Prize to
nurture environmental innovation and research on an annually
changing theme. In 2007 the theme for which candidates will be
eligible is climate change.
The prize is awarded every year to individuals
with an established track record of achievement and the potential to
make outstanding contributions to the protection and management of
the environment consistent with UNEP’s policies and objectives. A
copy of an information brochure, providing further details about the
prize, has been attached for you review.
The Prize also acts an incentive for
environmental efforts that are sustainable and replicable in the
long-term. It recognizes innovation, groundbreaking initiatives and
ideas, and extraordinary grassroots efforts from around the world.
Our hope is that the $20,000 UNEP Sasakawa Prize will offer the
financial support laureates need to build on their achievements.
