The Wilkes Climate Innovation Prize seeks bold, high-potential solutions that address significant challenges affecting the climate/energy/economy ecosystem and are positioned to make measurable progress toward real-world use. Applicants may be for-profit or nonprofit organizations, academic teams, public-sector innovators, or mission-driven collaborations from anywhere in the world. The prize offers one award of $250,000 to support validation, pilots, or readiness for scale. Solutions should address a material climate-system challenge, not a marginal improvement.
