Second time a KAUST scientist receives Japan Prize, making it the only university in MENA region to be honoured with global accolade THUWAL, Saudi Arabia, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is proud to announce that Professor Carlos M. Duarte, Ibn Sina Distinguished Professor of Marine Science, has been awarded the internationally acclaimed Japan Prize for his groundbreaking contributions to marine ecology and his pioneering research on the crucial role of blue carbon ecosystems as a nature-based climate solution. Professor Duarte's work has transformed the world's understanding of ocean-based climate solutions and their potential to address global environmental challenges. The Japan Prize, often referred to as the "Japanese Nobel Prize" and regarded as one of the world's most prestigious awards in science and technology ––honours exceptional achievements that contribute to global peace and prosperity. Professor Duarte's award acknowledges his decades of research on blue carbon ecosystems, including seagrasses, mangroves, and salt marshes. Despite covering only 0.2% of the ocean floor, these ecosystems store approximately 50% of all carbon buried annually in marine sediments. His findings have played a critical role in shaping international strategies for leveraging these ecosystems to combat climate change and restore biodiversity. Professor Duarte will receive the award in a formal ceremony in Tokyo on April 16th this year, presided over by His Majesty Emperor Naruhito. "Receiving the Japan Prize is a deeply humbling moment," said Professor Carlos Duarte. "This honour recognises the extraordinary potential of our oceans in restoring planetary health. I hope this spotlight on blue carbon inspires a new wave of ambition, particularly among younger generations of scientists and leaders, to embrace nature-based solutions and work collaboratively to address the climate crisis". "Professor Duarte's recognition is a testament to KAUST's commitment to cutting-edge research and to Saudi Arabia's growing impact in sustainability and environmental science globally," said Professor Sir Edward Byrne, President of KAUST. "His work exemplifies KAUST's role in advancing Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative, driving innovation in marine conservation, climate innovation, and scientific leadership, both regionally and internationally." Beyond his research, Professor Duarte has been instrumental in advising Saudi Arabia on its national marine conservation efforts and national sustainability strategies, ocean stewardship. He has also played a pivotal role in shaping global ocean policy, serving as the Executive Director of the G20 Backed Coral Research & Development Accelerator Platform (CORDAP), which aims to fast-track innovation in coral reef restoration around the world. His expertise continues to influence climate negotiations and marine conservation frameworks worldwide. Duarte is the second person from KAUST to win the prize.

Between the workshops and panel discussions, attendees had the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals. They were also treated to spectacular dance and music showcases by talented Wellington College International Shanghai pupils. In the spirit of the times, there was even some entertainment provided by a troupe of state-of-the-art robots. Jeremy Birk, Director of EdFest, said, "We look forward to expanding the reach and impact of The Bridge and Festival of Education through a rich, year-round workshop series featuring global thought-leaders across a range of inspiring and future-focused topics." The 8th China EdFest was a resounding success that highlighted the power of collaboration and the transformative potential of education. But this event is just the beginning. EdFest is part of a global mission to build a connected community of lifelong learners, thinkers and innovators. In the coming year, schools within the Wellington College Education group will be hosting EdFests around the world—from China to the UK, the US and Thailand. By bringing together all stakeholders in education—teachers, parents, business owners and more—we can find new ways to equip the next generation with the skills they need to thrive in the world.
