The winner will be announced on the International Youth Day on August 12, and will be invited to receive the award at the WIN WIN Award ceremony October 22 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Theme 2020 – Biodiversity:

One million of planet Earth’s eight million different species are threatened with extinction. This fact also jeopardizes humanity’s own survival as a species.

Despite scientists’ insight that the biodiversity of the Earth is crucial for our existence, the is-sue tends to fall between decision-makers’ areas of responsibility and does not receive the same attention as, for example, climate change.

The issue of biodiversity is complex and has a bearing on a very wide range of conditions for life on Earth – everything from clean water, raw materials and food production to genetic variation, inspiration for technical solutions and cures for diseases. The multifaceted and intractable nature of the significance of biodiversity must not contribute to an inability to act. They need solutions and initiatives in many areas to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals number 14 and 15, which address ecosystems in the oceans and on land.
