Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation's Awards

Since 2008, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Awards have paid tribute to leading individuals and organisations for their deep commitment to preserving our planet, in each of the Foundation’s three priority areas: limiting the effects of climate change, preserving biodiversity, managing water resources.

«I wanted to create these awards to show my support to exceptional men and women who are committed to saving our planet.” H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
