About Us

The Children's Climate Prize is an international climate event for environmentally conscious people from all over the world. It is a platform to inspire and give young people opportunities to drive change. The prize is awarded to children or youth, aged 12-17, who has taken extraordinary actions for the climate, environment and future generations. The Swedish energy company Telge Energi, which for 11 years has been working exclusively with renewable energy, initiated the prize in 2016 with the purpose of spotlighting the climate issue from the perspective of the next generation. In 2019, the Clean Air category was added in collaboration with Swedish Blueair, a world-leader in air purification. Finalists and winners are selected by an independent jury of experts. The winners are awarded with 100 000 SEK to scale up their projects. To read more about the prize, please visit: www.ccprize.org
