The Goldman Environmental Foundation (the Foundation) bestows the Goldman Environmental Prize (the Prize)—the world’s foremost award honoring grassroots environmental leadership. Founded in 1989 by Rhoda and Richard Goldman, the Prize has honored the achievements of grassroots environmental activists around the world for more than 35 years. The Prize recognizes individuals for significant achievements in protecting and conserving the natural environment in the world’s six inhabited continental regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Islands & Island Nations, North America, and South & Central America. The Prize views “grassroots” leaders as those involved in collective action at the community level to affect local, regional, national, or international change. By celebrating these individual leaders, the Prize seeks to inspire ordinary people to take extraordinary actions to protect the natural world.
