HOUSTON, Texas – October 8, 2025 – BlueGreen Water Technologies, a global leader in climate-resilient water solutions, today announced that it has been nominated for the inaugural Prix Galien USA EcoHealth Award, established by the Galien Foundation, to recognize transformative innovations at the intersection of human and planetary health.
The EcoHealth Award recognizes innovations that address the urgent connection between environmental sustainability and human health. By spotlighting solutions across climate technology, water management, and sustainable development, it reinforces the shared global commitment to resilience and a healthier future.
“We are honored to be recognized among innovators working to safeguard both people and the planet,” said Eyal Harel, CEO and Co-Founder of BlueGreen Water Technologies. “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.”
BlueGreen’s innovation directly addresses the dual crises of climate change – water (and thereby food) security and excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Two billion people already lack access to clean water, and rising global temperatures are intensifying both scarcity and water stress. A dangerous driver of this crisis is the unchecked spread of harmful algal blooms (HABs), which thrive in warmer, nutrient-polluted waters, contaminating drinking supplies, devastating biodiversity, and releasing potent greenhouse gases. By restoring degraded water bodies and transforming toxic, unusable water into safe and resilient resources, BlueGreen delivers measurable benefits across health, climate, and community resilience.
“The Prix Galien EcoHealth Award will celebrate innovators driving impactful change through climate technology and environmental health solutions,” said Adam Schechter, Chair of the Prix Galien EcoHealth Committee. “From wind power and water conservation to biodegradable products and technologies reducing reliance on fossil fuels, these pioneers champion the imperative of a healthier planet and people. This award aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accord, reinforcing a commitment to global sustainability.”
BlueGreen’s nomination reflects this vision. The company’s approach goes beyond remediation, linking ecosystem recovery with climate finance to turn water restoration into a pathway for sustainable development. By quantifying avoided emissions and establishing new classes of verifiable carbon credits, BlueGreen is opening new avenues to finance restoration projects, expanding access to solutions in communities that need them most.
The inaugural EcoHealth Award will be presented on October 29 at the United Nations in New York City, under the banner ‘A Symbiotic Relationship: Human and Planetary Health’, and will bring together global leaders, innovators, and institutions in celebrating breakthroughs at the nexus of environmental sustainability and human health.
With operations across five continents and projects spanning drinking water restoration, community health protection, and carbon removal, BlueGreen is at the forefront of advancing climate-resilient solutions that improve life on a global scale.
