Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska has won the 2024 Planetary Health Award from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. The award comes in recognition of the Queensland University of Technology professor’s 30 years of work in the field of indoor air quality.
Each year, the foundation awards the Planetary Health Award to three recipients globally.
“I am very grateful and proud to be the recipient of the 2024 Planetary Health Award from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and humbled to be selected for this important recognition,” Morawska told guests at the award ceremony.
“My dream is for my work to be one small pillar in keeping this planet habitable, with a clean and unpolluted atmosphere, and filling our indoor spaces with pollution-free air to help us thrive.
“I fully recognise that everything I accomplished was possible because of the generous support I received during my professional journey.
“Thank you to my colleagues from all over the world and from all disciplines, and to my students for having been part of this incredible journey.”
The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation was created in 2006 as a global non-profit organisation dedicated to environment protection and sustainable development.
The foundation says it aims to contribute to planetary health by co-creating and supporting projects in many countries, recognising and encouraging those working in environmental fields, and raising awareness in key areas including climate change, biodiversity and water resources.
