Green Awards

Latin America Green Awards is one of the most relevant sustainability festivals in the world, which each year rewards and gives visibility to Latin America’s top 500 social and environmental projects, thus becoming the showcase that energizes the green economy by showcasing regional initiatives in 10 categories aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The categories of the awards are: Water, Forests and Flora, Biodiversity and Fauna, Human Development, Social Inclusion and Reduction of Inequality, Energy, Sustainable Finance, Urban Management, Solid Waste Management, Oceans and Production and Responsible Consumption.

Why

Latin America, our common home, has 23% of tropical forests, 31% of water resources, and 70% of the planet’s biodiversity. However, it is the region with the most urban growth where 80% of the population lives in cities; it causes pressure on the environment and therefore faces overcrowding, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, water pollution.

Many scientists repeat-every minute-that nature is agonizing. That we are drowning the seas, deforesting the lands, eliminating the species. Many specialists warn us that we must act immediately. That the least we have is time. That we must approach each other, change lifestyles, transform people. That’s what this event is all about. From impacting Individuals to generate opportunities that change the lifestyles in their communities.

Allies and partners

We believe in the power of alliances, that is why we have created a constantly growing network that today consists of 85 organisations. They have allowed, not only to expand the reach in each of the countries, but to develop communities formed by ministries, local governments, NGOs, private and financial sector organizations, among others. The union makes the strength, and an exciting and long road like this, it is better to do it accompanied.
