Nominations for this year’s Climate 100 List are now closed
The Independent’s Climate 100 List is back for 2025 – and we need your voice.
Once again, we’re shining a spotlight on 100 inspiring individuals and organisations driving real climate action – from bold innovators and quiet community heroes to global leaders shaping a more sustainable future.
This year’s list spans continents and sectors – science, sport, politics, protest, and beyond – but everyone featured shares one vital thing: an urgent commitment to tackling the biggest crisis of our time.
And the final five places? They’re reserved for your nominations.
Last year, readers helped bring extraordinary figures into the spotlight – including Dr Ye Tao, who left Harvard to develop cooling tech for climate-hit communities in Sierra Leone, and data expert Hannah Ritchie, whose evidence-led work is cutting through climate misinformation worldwide.
So, who’s making a difference where you live in 2025? Whose climate action story deserves a platform?
Submit your nominations for The Independent’s Climate 100 List using the form below – and stay tuned: the full list lands in mid-September.
