The 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize is Monday, April 20
The 2026 Goldman Prize winners will be announced the morning of April 20 and celebrated at a live ceremony in San Francisco that evening.
The event will be livestreamed on the Goldman Prize YouTube channel, allowing viewers around the world to join the celebration. Please follow along as we count down to the announcement of this year’s environmental champions—subscribe to our newsletter and join the Prize on social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn).
Celebrating Grassroots Leadership
This year’s theme, “Change Starts Where You Stand,” highlights that you don’t have to cross oceans to find environmental leadership—you might find it next door.
Meaningful change is always within reach. Global movements begin in backyards and town halls, in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our communities—led by regular people. We believe that courage has the power to reshape the world.
We look forward to sharing the 2026 Goldman Prize winners’ powerful stories this April.
