Frontiers Planet Prize

Frontiers Research Foundation

The Frontiers Planet Prize celebrates breakthroughs in sustainability science, rewarding solutions that show measurable potential to help humanity remain within the boundaries of the Earth’s ecosystem.

The sustainability challenges facing our planet are colossal, demanding immediate attention. They can be tackled only with a concerted global effort and an intelligent, pragmatic approach, and by uncovering the best ideas in the field of sustainability science.

Scientists working within sustainability have identified nine planetary boundaries that should not be crossed, as described by Professor Johan Rockström and Owen Gaffney in their book Breaking Boundaries .

The current state of scientific knowledge makes a convincing case that urgent action is needed to prevent humanity from crossing these boundaries. Science tells us the window of opportunity for action is limited and we need to act now. This is the main ambition for the creation of the Frontiers Planet Prize: to mobilize the scientific community to speed up the search for planetary solutions.

Duke can submit three applications.

Eligibility Requirements

The Frontiers Planet Prize will be awarded to the best peer-reviewed research articles published in international scientific journals, with robust peer review and transparent publication procedures. The acceptance for publication date of the article must fall within the 2 years prior to the NNB submission deadline of each edition’s cycle (the acceptance window for eligible articles varies by prize cycle; to view the acceptance dates for the current edition, please visit our website). Scientific excellence is the default principle to participate in the Frontiers Planet Prize, with each nomination providing actionable solutions to bring us back into the safe operating space of the 9 planetary boundaries. We welcome breakthrough science across all disciplines on condition it is focused on Planetary Boundaries and presents original research findings or insightful reviews and syntheses.
