TIME has named Chef Selassie Atadika to its prestigious 2025 Earth Awards, recognising six individuals worldwide whose work is redefining the future of our planet through sustainability, climate justice, and innovation.
Other honorees this year include climate philanthropist Michael Bloomberg.
Past Earth Award recipients have included U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, and Indigenous Amazonian leader Nemonte Nenquimo and other global leaders working to restore balance between people and planet.
Chef Atadika is the first Ghanaian to receive the honour, recognised for her visionary work at the intersection of African foodways, sustainability, and food systems change.
As the Founder of Midunu and a former humanitarian with the United Nations, she brings a systems-level approach to climate resilience—grounded in culinary heritage and driven by a bold reimagination of what the future of food can be.
“Africa’s culinary knowledge holds the blueprint for a more sustainable future,” said Atadika.
