Innovators are defined as individuals, private sector companies, civil society organisations or NGOs working on the frontlines of the transition and positively impacting at the community and/or country level to accelerate the transition, increase the use of renewable energy solutions or energy efficiency measures, build green skills capacity, promote inclusion in the energy sector or advance climate resilience and adaptation efforts.
