Earth Island Institute

Congratulations to the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize winners!

For the first time ever, all winners are women.

These six extraordinary women show that you don't have to cross oceans to find environmental leaderships - you might find it next door.

Global movements begin in backyards and town halls, in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our communities.
