The winners were chosen from almost 150 applications from around the world. The prize recognizes projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or promote carbon uptake.

"We must take immediate action to address global warming, and the Keeling Curve Prize is shining a spotlight on practical solutions that can reduce heat-trapping emissions, increase carbon uptake, and slow climate change," said Brenda Ekwurzel, director of climate science for the Union of Concerned Scientists and one of this year's judges.

"We need a diversity of approaches so that we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, remove them from our atmosphere, and protect our planet," said Jacquelyn Francis, founding director of the Keeling Curve Prize.

An international panel of judges selected two winners in each of five categories:

Transportation

Social & Cultural Impacts

Carbon Capture & Utilization

Energy Access

Finance
