Ashden International Awards for Green Entrepreneurs from Developing Nations
Ashden International Awards for Green Entrepreneurs from Developing Nations
The 2024 Ashden climate awards are now open to projects boosting green skills and training, tackling inequality and empowering communities. Winners receive funding grants of up to £25,000. The Ashden Awards bring publicity, grants and connections to outstanding climate solutions. Whether powering up off-grid communities, greening cities, or regenerating the natural world, the winners work to build a fairer and better zero carbon future.
The annual Ashden Awards are free to enter, and benefits for winners include a cash grant, access to funders, and a promotional film about their work. All finalists receive publicity and opportunities as part of the Ashden network.
EligibilityBusinesses, NGOs, government organisations, social enterprises and community groups are all eligible. Work must be currently available to clients, customers or beneficiaries.
To be shortlisted and win an award, all applicants must satisfy these eligibility criteria:
The work submitted for an award must be currently available to customers, clients or beneficiaries.
The applicant must show an innovative approach in their work.
The applicant’s work must have the potential to create significant impact. This might be achieved by their growth as an organisation, or the replication of their innovation around the world. Applicants must be willing to work with Ashden and others to achieve this goal. ‘Significant’ impact
could be a large reduction in emissions, a mitigation or adaptation action that addresses a serious threat to people’s wellbeing, or a transformation in people’s quality of life – particularly the most marginalised.
The applicant must show good governance and management. We are looking for efficient use of funds and a strong plan to generate further income, whether from sales, grants or any other source. Organisations can be for profit or not-for-profit. Winners must have sustainability embedded in their values and practices.
Benefits
Winning an Ashden Award brings a prize of up to £25,000 as well as ongoing development support.
All winners join the Ashden network – giving them the chance to connect with new partners through masterclasses, investor pitching events and introductions to influential policy makers.
