The Goldman Environmental Prize is a prize awarded annually to grassroots environmental activists, one from each of the world's six geographic regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Islands and Island Nations, North America, and South and Central America. The award is given by the Goldman Environmental Foundation headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Prize is often referred to as the green Nobel.

The Goldman Environmental Prize was created in 1989 by philanthropists Richard and Rhoda Goldman., the award amount is $200,000.[1]

The winners are selected by an international jury who receive confidential nominations from a worldwide network of environmental organizations and individuals.[2] Prize winners participate in a 10-day tour of San Francisco and Washington, D.C., for an awards ceremony and presentation, news conferences, media briefings and meetings with political, public policy, financial and environmental leaders.[3] The award ceremony features short documentary videos on each winner, narrated by Robert Redford through the year 2020,[4] and Sigourney Weaver beginning in 2021.[5]

The 2019 Goldman Environmental Prize ceremony marking the 30th anniversary took place on April 29, 2019, at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco.[6] [7] A second award ceremony took place on May 1, 2019, in Washington, D.C.

The 2020, 2021, and 2022 Goldman Environmental Prize ceremonies took place online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with pre-recorded videos premiering on November 30, 2020,[8] [9] June 15, 2021,[10] and May 25, 2022, respectively.[11] [12]
