GENDER-EQUAL

SOCIETIES

THEME 2026

For 2026, we’ll reward leaders who are driving change for gender equality — from advocates securing fair laws and access to resources, to leaders promoting women’s leadership in climate action, economic development, and community building.  

The WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award recognises and promotes outstanding solutions to the most urgent challenges facing the world today.

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.
 

The awards recognise outstanding contributions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

An independent jury selects laureates 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
AN AWARD

WIN WIN is a platform for 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. Through a dynamic programme of events and initiatives, we create space for cross-sector collaboration and build partnerships that drive system-changing solutions for a sustainable future.

Upcoming events

The award is made possible by strong partnerships and a broad community of support.

As a non-profit organisation, we are driven by the belief that collaboration is key to sustainable progress. The nomination process is open to the public, and the winners are selected by an independent jury. A network of advisors helps shape the award’s impact and reach.
