One of these 5 teenagers will win almost €10,000 to develop their own solution to climate change
An app to detect crop disease and a fish scale formula to clean wastewater are among the contenders for the Children's Climate Prize.
An app that detects disease in crops and a tool that uses fish scales to retrieve heavy metals from wastewater are just two of the bright ideas from this year’s Children’s Climate Prize finalists.
Young people aged 12 to 17 submitted their environment and climate solutions to the Children’s Climate Foundation competition, founded by Swedish renewable energy supplier Telge Energi.
Last year the 100,000 SEK (€9,360) prize went to 15-year-old Reshma Kosaraju from California for her “innovative and savvy” use of AI to fend off forest fires.
2022’s entrepreneurial finalists hail from the US, India and Pakistan, whittled down from a list of nominees from every continent and over 30 different countries.
These kids can do anything and so can we.
“This year’s finalists are truly talented people in their own fields and in their own ways,” says jury member Vinisha Umashankar, who took the 2020 prize with her solar powered ironing cart invention, aimed at improving India’s air quality.
“These kids can do anything and so can we,” adds Stella Axelsson, president of The Swedish Federation of Young Scientists. “I think the more people that realise this, the more change we’re going to accomplish.”
Read on if you’re ready to feel inspired by the shiniest ideas from the next generation.

Jacqueline Prawira, 17, from Mountain House, USA: Extracting toxic metals from wastewater
Water pollution is one of the biggest problems contributing to water scarcity.
As industrialisation has spread so has heavy metal pollution, and most wastewater treatment plants lack the procedures or legal protocols to stop it. Toxic concentrations are being released into the environment that persist for generations and bioaccumulate in the food chain.
That’s where Jacqueline’s Cyclo.Cloud comes in: a fish scale waste formula that can absorb up to 82 per cent of heavy metals from contaminated wastewater, making it drinkable again.
