An international foundation based in Portugal, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation aims to promote the development of individuals and organizations, through art, science, education, and charity, for a more equitable and sustainable society.
The foundation invites nominations for the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity, a €1 million ($1.05 million) prize that recognizes outstanding contributions to climate action and climate solutions that inspire hope.
The prize puts people at the center and celebrates human ingenuity in developing solutions to climate change. This is not a prize that solely rewards technical innovation—it also rewards action by individuals, networks and organizations for the benefit of both humanity and nature.
In selecting a winner, the jury seeks transformative solutions with the potential for long-term impact and scalable benefits for both the environment and society that demonstrate inspiring leadership and forward-thinking approaches.
Any individual, organization, or group of people and organizations making a significant contribution to tackling climate change is eligible. Nominations must come from a third party. Self-nominations are not permitted.
