The 2020 Laureates of the Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize,’ are set to be announced in Stockholm on October 1.
The four new laureates will be presented by Ole von Uexkull, Executive Director of the Right Livelihood Foundation, and Amelie von Zweigbergk, Vice-Chair of the foundation’s board and jury member, during a live press conference that will also be available via live stream.
In 2020, 182 nominations from 71 countries were considered. The recipients were selected by an international jury after careful investigation by the foundation’s research team.
Previous Laureates include Edward Snowden (United States), Dr. Denis Mukwege (the Democratic Republic of Congo) and Greta Thunberg (Sweden).
The 2020 Laureates will be honoured at a virtual award presentation on December 3.
