NOMINATIONS OPEN for Leaders in Energy: The Four Gen Awards DEADLINE October 25, 2020

(Leaders in Energy) This year's theme is “Regenerating for a Positive Future!” We are excited to open the nomination process for the 7th annual Four Generations of Leaders in Clean Energy and Sustainability Solutions Awards – THE FOUR GEN AWARDS! The celebration will be conducted virtually this year.

We are honoring leaders who are helping to regenerate natural systems and economies to create prosperity and resilience through projects, programs, and initiatives that connect with this theme.

Why this year’s theme? Many studies now point to the necessity for a fundamental and encompassing transformation in how our society conducts its activities. The World Economic Forum report alone identified 15 systemic transitions with annual business opportunities worth $10 trillion that could create 395 million jobs by 2030. Together, these can pave the way towards a human- and nature-positive development which will be resilient to future shocks. (See links below to World Economic Forum* and Global Commission on Economy and the Climate**.)

Here are examples of the categories for this year’s awards, as a starting point for your thinking! This is not meant to be an exhaustive list – we are glad to consider other categories which pertain to our theme of “Regenerating for a Positive Future!”

HOW TO MAKE YOUR NOMINATIONS
The 2020 Four Gen Awards “Regenerating for a Positive Future!”
