Right Livelihood Award
Contenido keyboard_arrow_down
The Right Livelihood Award (in English Right Livelihood Award or RLA), also known as Alternative Nobel Prize, has been awarded since 1980 thanks to the philanthropist Jakob von Uexkull, and is presented annually in the Swedish Parliament, on December 9, to honor and support those people who "work in the search and application of solutions for the most urgent needs that today's world needs. An international jury decides the award in areas such as environmental protection, human rights, sustainable development, health, education, peace, etc. The monetary prize is distributed among the winners, who are usually four, and amounts to a total of $230,000.
The Alternative Nobel Prizes are unrelated to the Nobel Prizes, but are critically compared to them and are awarded a day earlier.
