Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement

The Tyler Prize is the world’s most prestigious annual environmental prize. Often referred to as the “green Nobel Prize”, it was the first prize of its kind to be awarded in the field of environmental science. The prize recognizes individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to understanding and safeguarding our planet, as well as advancing solutions to critical environmental challenges. Our Laureates work across diverse fields within environmental science and leadership including conservation, public policy and economics on issues including health, air, water pollution, biodiversity loss, and energy. Our Laureates include Sandra Díaz, Eduardo Brondízio, Johan Rockström, Daniel Pauly, Rashid Sumaila, Gretchen Daily and Pavan Sukhdev. Laureates are chosen through a rigorous nominations procedure which assesses the global measurable and scalable impact and scientific merit of nominees work. Nominees' work is also expected to address global inequalities and solutions and demonstrate engagement with younger generations.
