Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is among four people named Wednesday as the winners of a Right Livelihood Award, also known as the "Alternative Nobel."
Thunberg is being recognized "for inspiring and amplifying political demands for urgent climate action reflecting scientific facts," the prize foundation said.
Advertisement It added that the 16-year-old, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, "personifies the notion that everyone has the power to create change. Her example has inspired and empowered people from all walks of life to demand political action."
Created in 1980, the annual Right Livelihood Award honors efforts that the prize founder, Swedish-German philanthropist Jakob von Uexkull, felt were being ignored by the Nobel prizes.
The four winners will each receive $103,000.
The foundation also gave its 2019 award to Davi Kopenawa and the Hutukara Yanomami Association, representing Brazil's indigenous tribe, for protecting the Amazon forest and its people; Moroccan activist Aminatou Haidar "for her steadfast nonviolent action" for Western Sahara and Chinese lawyer Guo Jianmei for her work for women's rights in China.
Ole von Uexkull, the foundation's executive director and nephew of the founder, said "we honor four practical visionaries whose leadership has empowered millions of people to defend their inalienable rights and to strive for a liveable future for all on planet Earth."
An award ceremony is planned in Stockholm on Dec. 4, six days before the Nobel prizes are handed out.
Thunberg said in a statement by the Right Livelihood foundation that "whenever I receive an award, it is not me who is the winner. I am part of a global movement of school children, youth and adults of all ages who have decided to act in defense of our living planet."

NOT the real Nobel.
Thought this was already a gibbon. I mean given. Re-greta-turdburg has some pocket cash now. And the once honored prize is further shoved in to the trash bin. I mean, manbearpig, obxxx and now re-greta-bull.
Everyone gets an award in Leftist Land.
Greta is supposed to be in North and South America for the next nine months. She won’t be able to attend this awards ceremony.
How she plans to ever return home is unknown. She sailed on an allegedly carbon neutral sailboat/yacht of some sort to come to America. It’s unknown if she will return the same way, or explode her carbon footprint and fly on an evil airplane.
SweDUHish
What..........a..........joke! The peace prize has become a global embarrassment along with the Nobel committee.
Yeah, boat made from CARBON fiber. WTH? LOL! Tone deaf!
Insane ranting—worked for Obama!
Obama immediately got it. Then we got ISIS. How many people died because of that?
Who nominated her, Obama??
To be fair, she’s done more to earn it than obama did...
Ridiculous
Don’t forget Arafart - typo deliberate.
We have gone off the deep end.
Nobel is a joke.
