The Earthshot Prize 2025 Awards took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is the first time the Prize has been held in Latin America, representing a historic milestone that reinforces Brazil’s prominence on the global climate agenda.
During the star-studded Awards Night on 5 November at the iconic Museum of Tomorrow, we announced the Earthshot Prize Winners for 2025.
The five Winners, one for each Earthshot, will be awarded £1 million to advance or replicate their work and in recognition of their achievement and potential.
Meet the 2025 Winners of The Earthshot Prize: re.green, The City of Bogotá, The High Seas Treaty, Lagos Fashion Week, and Friendship.
Running from Monday 3 to Wednesday 5 November, The Earthshot Prize Summit, featured high-level events, meetings and The Impact Assembly, a landmark event on Wednesday 5 designed to scale and accelerate the impact of the Finalists.
The Earthshot Prize Summit culminated on Wednesday evening, at the Awards Night at the iconic Museum of Tomorrow, Rio de Janeiro.
For the first time ever, The Earthshot Prize Summit events were located on ‘Earthshot Boulevard’ – a free, open-air experience that stretched from the Museum of Tomorrow to Pier 3 into a vibrant hub for public engagement, climate discussions and immersive environmental art.
On the night of 4 November, Rio locals enjoyed a spectacular Earthshot Prize drone light show. Consisting of more than 600 drones, powered by renewable energy, the show was visible along the length of Ipanema Beach.
From musicians, to sports stars, to environmental activists, some of the world’s most influential stars took to the stage in Rio to celebrate The Earthshot Prize Finalists.

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.
This year, we’ve seen double the nominations from Brazil and South America compared to last year, with a powerful wave of solutions led by women and indigenous communities.
We are hugely grateful to our partners, including our Founding Partners, without whom the Awards and activities around Rio de Janeiro could not take place.
