Call for Nominations: Silver Rose Awards 2025

Nominations are open for the Silver Rose Awards 2025. The ongoing climate, environmental and social crisis can only be tackled through ambitious action, and by remaining steadfast in the face of challenges. Against a backdrop of de-prioritisation of a just transition, the people, communities and movements who hold firm and continue to keep social justice, climate action and environmental protection on the political agenda must be acknowledged and supported. Their work is not only key in ensuring a transition that works for all but also has a crucial role in preserving healthy and vibrant democracies and holding decision-makers to account.

In this vein, this year’s Silver Rose Awards will celebrate those making a difference and pushing decision-makers and policy-makers to ensure a just transition in the face of a challenging and often hostile political landscape.

Benefits of Silver Rose Awards

• By nominating individuals or groups who embody the principles of a just transition, you’re amplifying their impact and recognising their dedication to creating a better world for us all. This is more than just an award – it’s an opportunity to showcase inspiring examples and success stories of impactful campaigning, advocacy and movement building for a just transition.
