Dr Andreas Schild Memorial Mountain Prize 2024 ($2,500 prize) Deadline: 25 November, 2024
Nominations are open for the Dr Andreas Schild Memorial Mountain Prize 2024. ICIMOD is seeking to find champions of nature in the region, reward their work, and accelerate their impact by raising their profile, through their annual Dr Andreas Schild Memorial Mountain Prize.
About the Award
In 2022, the Mountain Prize was renamed the Dr Andreas Schild Memorial Mountain Prize in honour of former ICIMOD Director General Andreas Schild, a champion of the mountains of the world and the HKH region, whose impact remains in the hearts of those in the HKH whose lives he touched during his long and illustrious career.
What happens in the HKH region has huge implications for the people and the rest of the world. The snow, ice, and permafrost originating in the HKH provide water to 240 million people in the mountains and a further 1.65 billion people downstream. With the climate crisis already devastating communities across the region, ICIMOD is working to build the public and political will for faster action and greater climate ambition. The Mountain Prize is an effort to empower change and champion resilience in the face of the climate crisis.
Prizes
Two prizes each worth USD $2,500 will highlight key contributions in:
- The restoration and conservation of Water and Mountain Landscapes
- Excellence in Climate Communication, in journalism, film, digital communications or campaigning, or podcasts
Eligibility
