UNDP Announces Call for Nominations for the Equator Prize 2025
New York – The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-led Equator Initiative is excited to announce the global call for nominations for the Equator Prize 2025. This prestigious award recognizes nature-based solutions led by Indigenous Peoples and local communities that promote sustainable development and ecological resilience. Nominations are now open and will be accepted until 23 February.
As we gear up for the next United Nations Climate Change Conference COP30 in the Amazonian city of Belém in Brazil in November, this year’s theme, “Nature for Climate Action,” underscores the critical role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in implementing and advancing effective nature-driven climate solutions. Aligned with the Paris Agreement, these communities demonstrate transformative pathways by safeguarding and restoring biodiversity and critical ecosystems.
A healthy planet is essential for a stable climate, and the Equator Prize celebrates those leading the way.
