Nominations are now open for the 2020 Right Livelihood Award to honour and support courageous people solving global problems.

Cash & Honorary Award
- Typically, the Jury selects recipients for three Cash Awards and one Honorary Award each year.
- The Honorary Award is for candidates whose primary need is not cash support but who would benefit from the considerable recognition and publicity, which the Right Livelihood Award generates.
