-Nader Tehrani won the Design Visionary award. A couple examples of his work.

-Wedew by David Hertz won the Climate Action award. A description:

“Designed by architect David Hertz, WEDEW is a self-contained, transportable, and sustainable water and energy generator that converts biomass into essential human resources. WEDEW operates at the intersection of food, energy, and water and carbon transformation. The processes of biomass gasification and atmospheric water generation have been combined in a single system that creates valuable resources while closing waste streams. WEDEW expands systems thinking beyond the container to entire communities. It operates as a resilience hub allowing micro-grids and micro-economies to form. The biochar byproduct has long-term utility for regenerative agriculture while sequestering atmospheric carbon creating a nexus of goods, services, and resource distribution. WEDEW can successfully produce over 2,000 liters of water in 24 hours at the cost of half a cent per liter. WEDEW creates renewable energy and potable water, and the waste heat is recovered for non-refrigerant cooling while democratizing clean water in a small-scale distributed global solution. Through his work at his Studio of Environmental Architecture, Hertz strives to lessen the built environment’s impacts on the most vulnerable communities and the natural world.”
