The Earthshot Prize 2025 Awards Ceremony will be held on 5 November 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.
The Awards Ceremony will be part of three-days of events connecting the world’s most ambitious network of global leaders, innovators, and communities to create opportunities that restore confidence in our ability to save the planet.
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 Finalists, with five Winners each receiving £1 million to help scale their impact.
From music megastars to world-class sportspeople and Indigenous voices, some of the planet’s most inspirational figures will take to the stage at the iconic Museum of Tomorrow on 5 November to celebrate our Finalists.
During Awards Nights five 2025 Winners will be announced, each receiving £1 million (around R$ 7.3 million) to advance their work.
Hosted by Luciano Huck, we’ll be joined by guest presenters Cafu, Rebeca Andrade, Sebastian Vettel, and Txai Suruí, with incredible performances on the night from Anitta, Gilberto Gil, Kylie Minogue, Seu Jorge and Shawn Mendes.

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.
Accion Andina works with indigenous communities across South America to help them protect and restore the land.
Accion Andina embraces the knowledge and expertise of indigenous communities in tree-planting activities.
Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai, President of ASHA, has decades of experience bringing indigenous communities together to protect Amazonian forests.
Since its founding in 2017, Amazon Sacred Headwaters Alliance has grown to include 28 member organizations working collectively to protect the Amazon.
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.
