  • 2025 "New Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards" Nominations and Applications Now Open! The Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards (SCAHSA) (originally “Global Human Settlements Award”) is an annual worldwide prize initiated in 2005 by Global Forum on Human Settlements (GFHS) and supported by UNEP and other UN agencies. The awards program aims to accelerate the delivery of UN Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG 11, recognize and celebrate winners’ remarkable progress and valuable experience in making cities and human settlements safer, greener, more resilient, inclusive and sustainable, and drive more to follow suit and take decisive actions on the ground. The assessment criteria of SCAHSA is rooted in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda (NUA). SCAHSA has been successfully held for nineteen years until 2024, with awardees coming from?different parts of the world. It has become one of the most important sustainable development recognitions in the world, producing?a significant demonstration effect. Backed by the Global Human Settlements Foundation (GHSF) and drawing on the successful experience of the Nobel Prize with 120+ years of history, the SCAHSA in 2024 has been fully upgraded to the "New Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards" (abbreviated as the "New SCAHSA"), aiming to become a global top prize for sustainable development. The "New SCAHSA" will recognize and reward outstanding innovation and local leadership in making sustainable cities and human settlements, including climate actions and sustainability practices, and promote their innovative strategies, technologies and approaches as well as successful experience. Winners will be awarded not only certificates and medals but also prize money at the Awards Ceremony, which will inspire their ambition and creativity and improve their work and living conditions, thus enabling them to achieve better performance.

  • 2024 Global Leadership Award for Sustainable Development ?? The National Initiative for Smart Green Projects by the Government of Egypt The National Initiative for Smart Green Projects (NISGP) is a presidential initiative launched by Egypt to localize the #Sustainable #Development #Goals, by integrating environmental #sustainability into the fabric of society. This nationwide competition is a unique platform that empowers individuals across Egypt’s 27 governorates to contribute local solutions to combat climate change. The breadth of the effort on both the geographic and sectoral scope is admirable. The Initiative focuses on integrating sustainability into the core strategies as opposed to adding sustainability to a conventional approach or doing one-off projects on sustainability, which is smart and ultimately essential. NISGP has effectively reduced Egypt’s carbon footprint through initiatives focused on #renewable energy, water #conservation, and waste management. The holistic approach has created a sustainable framework that balances environmental preservation with social equity and economic growth. By addressing the SDGs through a localized approach, NISGP demonstrates that sustainable development is not only achievable but also beneficial to society as a whole.?

  • Global Leadership Award for Sustainable Development ?? Carlos Moreno, Scientist and Professor at IAE - Paris1 Sorbonne University As a scientist and #urbanist, Carlos Moreno’s great contribution to #sustainable urban development is well known and is well documented to have high efficacy. The most notable achievement is his "#15-minute city" concept which has already been supported, implemented, and recognized by high-level international organizations and mayors worldwide. He initiated the Global Observatory of #Sustainable #Proximity that has provided a platform for cities worldwide to share best practices and collaborate on innovative solutions. Through the concept, he emphasizes #integrated planning, #mixed-use development, local living, reduced commutes, enhanced community engagement, and technological integration. Overall, he provides strategies for cities to recover and adapt to benefit residents, saving them precious time, and techniques to change the habits of #automobile-dependent city residents and maximize social benefits of living in a human-centric city, as well as scientifically developed, research-backed solutions for enduring urban issues and problems. Deeply committed to science, progress, and creativity, Prof. Moreno presents an essential and timely resource in The 15-Minute City, to create more livable, viable, and equitable cities.
