The third edition of QS ImpACT Awards, held on 10 December at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, brought together global changemakers from countries including the United Kingdom, France, Kenya, Switzerland, Philippines, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Spain, Ireland, India, USA and the UAE to celebrate impactful contributions toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The event featured 30 inspiring speakers and recognised 78 finalists from 26 countries in different award categories, including climate education, biodiversity protection, urban regeneration, women’s leadership, green innovation and more.

Eight winners were awarded £100 in seed funding, exclusive access to a ‘Zero Waste Living’ course by Bare Necessities Zero Waste, and vouchers from PeeSafe to kickstart their sustainable lifestyle. These resources aim to help winners scale their impact initiatives and drive meaningful change in their local communities.
