This is more than an awards show.
It's an optimistic look at the future.
Join us on July 1 as we unveil the 2026 Keeling Curve Prize Winners and the Climate Curve Prize: Methane Finalists. The climate solutions that will be honored represent more than sustainability, they represent optimism and inspiration at a time when our planet needs it most.
The Keeling Curve Prize — now in its ninth year — is one of the world's most prestigious honors in climate innovation, recognizing breakthrough solutions across five
categories: Carbon Sinks; Energy; Finance; Social & Cultural Pathways; and Transport & Mobility. This year's laureates were selected from more than 600 applicants across multiple nations.
The Climate Curve Prize: Methane is a newly launched competition targeting one of the most harmful drivers of global warming — methane. On July 1, we'll announce the
first-ever cohort of finalists working to dramatically reduce methane emissions at scale in food and waste systems. This prize, launched with the help of the Global Methane Hub, is the first climate prize of it's kind.
