The Award recognizes projects, initiatives, and activities that have translated existing local knowledge into concrete sustainable practices, and empowered individuals and communities to make sustainable choices. The nominated projects provide evidence of involvement of diverse actors in addressing local sustainable development challenges through dialogue, education, research and multi-stakeholder learning.
