As part of Planetary Embassy in Belém during the UN climate summit COP30, the Frontiers Planet Prize, in partnership with Swissnex, invites you for a conversation on how science can move from diagnosing planetary crises to becoming a driving force for real-world transformation.

The session will feature the Prize’s Latin American National Champions, whose research spans planetary health, tropical resilience, and socio-environmental justice. It will explore how to turn evidence into action, showing how scientific innovation can reshape governance, shift societal incentives, and inspire collective stewardship of Earth’s life-support systems. Ultimately, it will demonstrate why celebrating and scaling science is not just an aspiration, but an urgent necessity for planetary survival.

What’s the Frontiers Planet Prize?

The Frontiers Planet Prize, presented by the Swiss-based Frontiers Research Foundation, was created with the mission to recognize and accelerate the world’s most impactful scientific breakthroughs advancing planetary boundary science, and ensure we can thrive within Earth’s limits. It is the world’s largest science competition dedicated to planetary health and Earth system science, awarding three annual prizes of USD 1 million. It mobilizes hundreds of institutions and national academies to elevate research offering actionable pathways toward a safe and just future for all.
