The Zayed Sustainability Prize is awarded annually, with a total of 86 recipients since its very first ceremony in 2009.
The Prize awards five categories: Health, Food, Energy, Water, which are only open to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs); and Global High Schools, which is split into winners from six global geographical regions each: The Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East & North Africa, Europe & Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia & Pacific.
This year, due to unprecedented and challenging times brought forth by the ongoing global pandemic, the initiative has extended the participatory deadline for all categories to 11th June 2020. Winners will be announced at the annual awards ceremony held during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week in January 2021.
