Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki has won an honorary Alternative Nobel for his work to raise awareness about climate change.
Two activists from Congo and New Zealand and a doctor from Australia won the top awards presented by the Right Livelihood Foundation for their work to protect rain forests, improve women’s health and rid the world of nuclear weapons.
Swedish-German philanthropist Jakob von Uexkull founded the awards in 1980 to recognize work he felt was being ignored by the Nobel Prizes.
