The mission of the Volvo Environment Prize Foundations is to honor and empower visionary scientists whose work drives environmental stewardship, advances human well-being, and accelerates the journey toward a sustainable, thriving society. Each year, the prize is presented to one or more individuals who have not only achieved scientific excellence but have also influenced policy, and decision-making across a range of environmental and sustainability fields. The recognition is grounded in rigorous scientific evidence and rewards research of exceptional quality and impact.
