From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German Environmental Prize (German: Deutscher Umweltpreis) is a government-sponsored award for protecting the environment. Worth €500,000, it is one of the most valuable environmental awards in Europe.[1]
The sponsor German Federal Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, DBU) is based in Osnabrück; the prize has been awarded by the President of Germany since 1993.[2][3] The prize is awarded for "commitment and achievements that make a decisive and exemplary contribution to the protection and preservation of our environment now and in the future".[4]
