The latest IPCC report clearly shows that efforts for the climate and environment are more important than ever. Sustainable solutions are crucial for the future of our and future generations. The Children’s Climate Prize wants to highlight and support young people that take action and make extraordinary contributions for the climate and environment. 2022 will be the seventh year that the prize is awarded to a young person aged 12-17.

The winner of the Children’s Climate Prize receives a diploma, medal and prize money of SEK 100,000 to continue developing their project. It can be an individual, a group or an organization that nominates itself or is nominated by someone else. Last year, a record number of nominations were received from all corners of the world, which is a strong indicator of all the positive change that is taking place globally.
