The Right Livelihood Award is an international honor established in 1980 by Swedish-German philanthropist Jakob von Uexküll. It recognizes individuals and organizations that contribute to social justice, environmental sustainability, and human rights. Often referred to as the "Alternative Nobel Prize," it aims to highlight solutions to global challenges. Award recipients are chosen for their innovative approaches and commitment to creating positive change. The award not only provides financial support but also raises awareness about the important work being done in various fields, including human rights, environmental protection, and social equity.
