Focus on Arts and Ecology

Dear colleagues,

The UNDP-led Equator Initiative announces a global Call for Nominations for the Equator Prize 2020. 

This eleventh cycle of the UNDP Equator Prize focuses on Nature for Life and, as such, it will recognize innovative initiatives from local communities and indigenous peoples that demonstrate exceptional achievements in the area of nature-based solutions for local sustainable development. Winning initiatives will be honored for their successes in protecting, restoring and/or sustainably managing biodiversity for positive development outcomes.

The winners will join a prestigious network of 245 leading community-based organizations from 81 countries that have been awarded the Equator Prize since 2002.

Each Equator Prize winner will receive USD 10,000 and will be supported to participate in a series of policy dialogues and special events during the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, in June 2020.

To access the online nomination system, please visit prize.equatorinitiative.org.
