Restor/G20 Global Land Initiative RestorLife Awards 2025 ($25,000 grant)

Restor and the G20 Global Land Initiative Coordination Office of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) proudly launch the RestorLife Awards at UNCCD COP16. These prestigious awards celebrate organizations and businesses that show outstanding commitment to environmental restoration, sustainable livelihoods, and ecosystem protection.

By recognizing impactful initiatives, the RestorLife Awards aim to inspire global action in restoring degraded lands and strengthening resilience against desertification. The awards highlight innovative solutions that contribute to a healthier planet and sustainable development.

Through this initiative, Restor and UNCCD reaffirm their dedication to combating environmental challenges and promoting nature-based solutions. The RestorLife Awards provide a global platform to showcase and support efforts that protect ecosystems and enhance communities’ well-being. This recognition encourages more stakeholders to engage in land restoration and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for all.

The RestorLife Awards feature two categories: the NGO Award, which recognizes organizations that lead impactful conservation and restoration efforts, and the Responsible Business Leadership Award, honoring businesses committed to exceptional corporate responsibility and positive environmental action. Nominees are carefully selected by a panel, experts in ecology, community development, and sustainability, ensuring a thorough evaluation process.

Benefits of RestorLife Awards

• The winner of the NGO Award will receive a USD $25,000 grant in recognition of their achievements. The awards ceremony will take place at Ramsar COP15 in Zimbabwe, where awardees from both categories will be flown in to present their work, network, and receive their award.
