“Providing students with the knowledge, frameworks, and critical thinking skills to dissect complex policy-related issues is a key objective of both our undergraduate and postgraduate environment courses. These prizes recognise the work that our students undertake and provide a platform to share their ideas with an audience of practitioners and decision-makers.”

“We established Chronos Sustainability with the explicit objective of delivering clear, demonstrable improvements in the social and environmental performance of key industry sectors. One way we do this is through showcasing and communicating the best ideas and the best solutions to the sustainability challenges. Through this prize we hope to inspire students to focus their attention on how their research can enable us to respond effectively to the world’s sustainability challenges.”

“These prizes are an acknowledgement of the fantastic work of the next generation of LSE sustainability practitioners and is crucial to aligning learning outcomes for our undergraduate and postgraduate students with the global challenges that we all face. The Department of Geography and Environment truly appreciates the vision and support of Chronos Sustainability in this important initiative.”

“We need to ensure that our thinking about how best to respond to the challenges of climate change and sustainable development is grounded in rigorous analysis and thinking. We also need to encourage students – at all levels – to think critically and carefully about how their work can help us respond to these challenges. These prizes are designed to bring these worlds together.”
