Four Categories to Recognise Excellence
With four distinct categories there’s a place for every impactful leader and initiative:
- Longstanding Achievement Award: Celebrates individuals with a career of at least 25 years dedicated to sustainable energy and climate action.
- Youth Leadership Award: Recognises exceptional contributions by young leaders between the ages of 20 and 30.
- Outstanding Achievement Award: Honours individuals who have made impactful contributions but do not qualify for either the Youth Leadership or Longstanding Achievement awards.
- Innovative Action Award: Highlights innovative projects that significantly advance climate and energy goals, emphasising creativity, impact, and scalability.
A European Award
The Roger Léron Award primarily celebrates individuals and projects driving the energy transition across Europe. While the focus is on European achievements, exceptional contributions from outside Europe may also be considered—provided they have made a significant impact within the European Economic Area (EEA).
