We mourn the passing of Robert Redford, whose artistry and integrity on screen were surpassed only by his decades of dedication to the environment. For nearly 20 years, he generously lent his voice as the narrator of Goldman Environmental Prize winner videos, elevating stories of grassroots leaders even further.
Robert Redford championed countless environmental causes throughout his lifetime—from protecting America’s wild places to advocating for climate action—leaving a legacy of profound environmental stewardship. He helped make the world a better place and left his mark on so many.
His voice, his vision, and his unwavering commitment to our planet will be deeply missed. May his memory be for a blessing.
—Susie Gelman, President, Goldman Environmental Foundation
