WHO CAN WIN?
The WIN WIN Award of 1 million SEK and the WIN WIN Youth Award of 100,000 SEK (13-29 years) celebrate changemakers whose actions and stories inspire others and show the way toward a sustainable future.
Open to people, organisations, and movements worldwide, the awards recognise outstanding contributions to a more sustainable world in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
An independent jury selects the winners based on criteria such as impact, scalability, systems thinking, and a holistic approach to sustainability. These criteria ensure that the laureates’ work not only addresses immediate challenges but also creates long-term change.
MORE THAN

WIN WIN is a platform knowledge, dialogue, and collaboration.
Based in Gothenburg, WIN WIN is where local perspectives and global insights meet — a bridge between regional sustainability strengths and the needs of global transformation.
