The 2025 Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony will be held on November 5 at the spectacular Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro.
This will be the first time the Prize will be held in Latin America, a historic milestone that reinforces Brazil’s prominence on the global climate agenda.
As home to over half of the Amazon Rainforest and nearly a fifth of the world’s biodiversity, Brazil is central to the global movement for nature-based solutions to repair and restore our planet.
Building on incredible moments in London, Boston, Singapore and Cape Town, this year’s Prize in Rio will once again spotlight 15 ground-breaking environmental solutions, with five winners each receiving £1 million to help scale their impact.
We cannot wait to highlight the bold ideas and creativity emerging from Brazil, shining a light on local changemakers across all five Earthshots and helping bring their stories to the world.

Our forests, wetlands, lakes and rivers are more than just sources of natural beauty. They are powerful tools for cleaning our air, removing carbon from the atmosphere, protecting biodiversity, and protecting vulnerable communities from the impacts of a warming world.
Nowhere understands the power of nature-based solutions like Brazil.
Across Latin America, environmental leaders are driving bold, innovative approaches to protect and restore vital ecosystems like the Amazon, while creating local jobs and economic opportunities. Indigenous communities have long been at the forefront of this work, leading efforts across Brazil and the wider region.
2023 Earthshot Prize Winner Acción Andina is restoring forests at scale, having planted nearly 10 million trees across five South American countries in less than a decade. While Earthshot Finalists from 2024, Amazon Sacred Headwaters is working to protect 86 million acres of critical rainforest while promoting sustainable ways of living.
Our aim this year is to amplify more of these voices and spotlight their vital role in safeguarding the health of our planet for both people and nature.
