For 69 years, the UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award has recognized those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to protect forcibly displaced and stateless people.
The 2025 global laureate will receive a commemorative medal and a monetary prize of US$100,000 to be reinvested in the humanitarian initiatives for which they are being recognized. Several regional winners will receive a smaller monetary prize to further their humanitarian work.
