Our theme this year is...
"Weaving the Web of Sustainability and Restoration:
A Call for Visionaries, Wayshowers and Doers"
We will recognize those illuminating the way toward “The Big Green Shift.” Those whose vital and diverse work is providing a guide to others to empower individual action. They educate us, call us to action, and give us the tools to make it happen!
Here are examples of who our awardees might be:
- Creators of new economic models (circular, steady state, etc.) and indicators
- Clean energy initiators in communities, e.g., decarbonization, climate actions
- Authors, speakers, educators, event producers engendering environmental awareness, and guiding and empowering individual action
- Community, urban, and regional (re-)development for economic prosperity and justice
- Individual and collective actions for climate resilience, restoration, and regenerative approaches focused on the protection of ecosystems, both private and public
- Businesses, entrepreneurs, and associations enacting innovation in sustainability
In addition to individual change-makers across Four Generations (Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer), this year we are excited to also honor collective visions and actions brought forth by institutions, NGOs, cities, regions, and other groups!
You can nominate people and groups, from around the corner, or around the globe! All are welcome!
Remember you can submit multiple nominations. You can also nominate yourself for the 2021 Four Gen Awards (Four Generations of Leaders in Clean Energy & Sustainability Solutions Awards).
The celebration will be held virtually - Friday, December 3rd, 7:00 - 9:00 pm EST.
