The Greening Award Initiative 2026 aims to celebrate the sustainability actions that are carried out and developed across more than 300 authorities that make up the European Coast Guard community.

The Initiative is jointly organised by the three European agencies tasked with supporting national authorities carrying out Coast Guard Functions: the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA), the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex).

It recognises projects and activities developed by authorities carrying out Coast Guard Functions which empower a green transition, contribute to a more sustainable future, and which directly or indirectly support the goals of the European Green Deal.

The application period for the 2026 edition is now open in three categories:

Greening Operations
Outreach and Awareness
Greening at Work

The winners in each category will be announced during the Annual European Coast Guard Event, hosted by EMSA on 9 June 2026.
