The nominations for the fifth edition of the Gulbenkian Prize are now open. The Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity, first awarded in 2020, rewards individuals and organisations who are leading society’s efforts to tackle the single biggest challenge facing humanity today: climate change. The Prize recognises outstanding contributions to climate action and climate solutions that inspire hope.
With an annual award of 1 million euro, the Prize funding has been used to support people facing the worst impacts of climate change and help scale climate solutions. The 2023 Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity was awarded to ecosystem restoration leaders from the Global South.
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation was established in 1956 as the lasting legacy of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian. The Prize is a manifestation of its commitment to put sustainability at the heart of everything it does.
