[REN21 quote], added: “REN21 is a firm believer that the 21st century heroes are young people who will REvolutionise the current defective system built around fossil fuels and build renewable infrastructure to improve the lives of millions. The legacy of Steve lives on with the REvolutionaries Award. From Africa to Latin America and now South-east Asia, the award highlights the brilliance of heroes who are turning the tide and setting the sails towards healthier, more prosperous, secure and sustainable economies and societies, improving the life quality of millions along the way. South-east Asia is the emblem of Innovation and technology that serves the higher good. It is the ideal moment and place to recognise the leaders of the energy transition with the Steve Sawyer REvolutionise Award,” – Arthouros Zervos REN21 President.
The winner will receive a prize to empower the recipient to further their work in driving the clean energy revolution. The prize package includes €4,000 as a monetary prize, funded travel to attend a regional GWEC or GWEC-affiliated event, as well as opportunities to promote the recipient’s thought leadership to a global network.
A jury will determine the winner of the award, focusing on five key criteria: leadership, renewable energy, innovation, scalability, and diversity. The jury is composed of people close to Steve, including members of Steve’s family and personal network, GWEC, REN21 and Greenpeace International.
Applications are now open for the award, until July. More information about the award and how to apply can be found here.
