BlueGreen Water Technologies, a global leader in climate-resilient water solutions, has been nominated for the inaugural Prix Galien USA EcoHealth Award, established by the Galien Foundation to recognise transformative innovations that advance both human and planetary health.
The EcoHealth Award celebrates technologies that address the urgent connection between environmental sustainability and human wellbeing. By highlighting innovations across climate technology, water management, and sustainable development, the award reinforces a global commitment to resilience and a healthier future for all.
“We are honoured to be recognised among innovators working to safeguard both people and the planet. This nomination affirms our vision that addressing water security and climate resilience together is one of the most powerful ways to protect ecosystems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve human health worldwide.”
Eyal Harel, CEO and Co-Founder, BlueGreen Water Technologies
BlueGreen’s approach tackles two of the most pressing global challenges: water security and greenhouse gas reduction. Rising global temperatures and water stress have accelerated the spread of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in nutrient-rich waters, threatening biodiversity, contaminating drinking supplies, and releasing methane and other potent greenhouse gases. By restoring degraded water bodies, the company transforms toxic, unusable water into safe and resilient resources, delivering measurable benefits for health, climate, and community wellbeing.
The Prix Galien EcoHealth Award Committee, chaired by Adam Schechter, will honour innovators working at the intersection of climate technology, sustainability, and health. The award aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement, supporting global efforts to advance environmental and social resilience.
BlueGreen’s nomination also reflects its pioneering work in linking ecosystem restoration with climate finance. By quantifying avoided emissions and establishing new classes of verifiable carbon credits, the company is opening new pathways to fund water restoration projects and extend access to sustainable solutions in vulnerable communities.
The inaugural EcoHealth Award will be presented on 29 October 2025 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City under the theme “A Symbiotic Relationship: Human and Planetary Health.” The event will bring together global leaders, innovators, and institutions to celebrate breakthroughs driving ecological and public health transformation.
With operations across five continents and projects spanning drinking water restoration, community health protection, and carbon removal, BlueGreen Water Technologies continues to demonstrate how water restoration can deliver far-reaching climate and health benefits on a global scale.
