GSFN Awards – Recognising Leadership, Commitment, and Impact
The GSFN Awards celebrate the leadership, dedication, and meaningful contributions of Global Sustainable Futures Network (GSFN) Coordinators worldwide who are advancing sustainability, climate action, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Awards are intentionally self-nominated, reflecting GSFN’s belief that leadership begins with reflection. They provide a space for individuals to recognise their own journeys, assess how their roles and impact have evolved, and strengthen their commitment to the work they are already doing—whether through influencing policy and practice, mobilising resources, building partnerships, mentoring others, or acting as role models within their communities and sectors. The Awards are not competitive and do not rank expertise; instead, they honour leadership in every space, in line with GSFN’s core principle of enabling individuals to lead where they stand.
GSFN Awards 2025 – Ceremony 25 January 2026
The GSFN Awards 2025 will be celebrated on 25 January 2026 through a global virtual ceremony. Building on a strong legacy of over 600 awards presented in the past five years, this year’s Awards continue to recognise purpose-driven leadership and sustained impact across regions and disciplines. The ceremony offers a moment to pause, reflect, and be recognised for consistency, integrity, and contribution to sustainable futures, reinforcing GSFN’s mission to support inclusive, equitable, and transformative leadership worldwide.
