Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley has been announced as one of three Zayed Award for Human Fraternity 2025 honorees.

The award, aimed at individuals and organizations, is judged by its independent jury for their notable contributions to pressing societal issues and nurturing peace and solidarity across diverse communities both globally and at the grassroots level.

Prime Minister Mottley was selected by the judging committee for her leadership on climate action and policy.

The other two nominees are the Global food relief organization World Central Kitchen which provides food relief to communities suffering from humanitarian crises and natural disasters and fifteen-year-old Ethiopian American health innovator Heman Bekele who is being honored for his ambition to save the lives of the most vulnerable and his vision of accessible and affordable healthcare.

The three recipients will be honored on February 4th during the sixth edition of the award ceremony, at the Founder’s Memorial in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
