The awards recognize individuals from APEC member economies who have successfully implemented the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economic model, a sustainable approach endorsed by APEC leaders.
Prizes will be given across three categories—women, men, and youth—to highlight diverse contributions to the BCG economy's principles.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
