What we do

The Right Livelihood Award

Our Award aims to boost urgent and long-term social change. We do this by recognizing the actions of brave visionaries working for a more just, peaceful and sustainable world for all.

Long-term support

Receiving the Right Livelihood Award is not just a one-time event but the beginning of a life-long partnership. This is what sets us apart from many other prizes. These change-makers don’t stop in their pursuit of a more just, peaceful and sustainable world – and neither do we in supporting them.

Education

Through our educational activities, we work with academia to develop and disseminate knowledge about Right Livelihood Laureates. By inspiring research on Laureates’ solutions, we aim to help provide civil society with knowledge and tools to address pressing challenges.
