The MDPI Sustainability Foundation is pleased to announce that the awardees for the 2023 World Sustainability Award have been selected.

This year, we were delighted to have received numerous nominations from individuals committed to advancing sustainability. The nominees’ research was evaluated on several criteria, including its uniqueness, its innovation, and its impact on the three pillars of sustainability.

In recognition of the extraordinary achievements demonstrated by multiple individuals this year, the Selection Committee has decided to share the honor of the award amongst three outstanding recipients:

• First place goes to Prof. Dr. Michael Templeton from Imperial College London, UK, and he is awarded USD 50,000;

• Second place goes to Prof. Dr. Thomas P. Lyon from the University of Michigan, USA, and he is awarded USD 30,000;

• Third place goes to Dr. Krithi K. Karanth, Chief Conservation Scientist and Executive Director, Centre for Wildlife Studies, Bangalore, India, and she is awarded USD 20,000.

The awardees have been invited to present their work on sustainability during the Award Ceremony which will be held on 14 September 2023 during the 10th World Sustainability Forum (WSF2023).

WSF2023 is a 24-hour hybrid event taking place in 3 locations (Singapore, Basel and Toronto). The Ceremony will be held in the Basel Hub in Switzerland. Those of you wishing to attend the Award Ceremony and celebrate this achievement with our awardees can do so by registering for the WSF2023.
