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."

The real one is pretty much exactly the same unless it is in a hard scientific field.
Right Livelihood Award, also known as the Alternative Nobel."That retarded brat doesnt have a livelihood. She never will, either. She will be coddled and paid by extreme leftist groups forever.
Well after awarding 0bama the prize before he even did anything the prize isn’t worth anything anymore.
If there’s one thing beyond doubt, it’s that the whole climate change panic is a hoax ginned up to stampede the 99% into a corral designed for them by the 1%.
For a adolescent hyper-emptional, factless-driven tantrum.
Peaked a bit early, I would say...
“This Liberalism NEVER ends!!!”
Thinking about it, I would say that their schemes and tactics seem more like “deliberatism” then liberalism.
She better use the money to hire some security. I heard Sweden is not safe. But she wont be returning anytime soon.
Hey, she should assume the Throne of Empress of the World or something like the Emperor in Star Wars...then all the dims can have big carbon free rallies where they all bow and crap...Lolol
The left can’t find heroes because they’re all weenies and cowards, so they have to create heroes with fake awards.
That child is possessed. Watch her face, especially her eyes. Sad. Ritual abuse?
She will get it too. The prize is just a token now—as long as you speak to Liberals Views that hobble the USA—You Win.

all around Greta, you will find socialists.
Might as well give it to this kid. You gave it to Barack Obama for absolutely nothing. That is the percieved value of it anymore.
She can join Yasir Arafat and Mao Tse Tung.
Don't forget homobama. He, too, was/is a complete asswipe.
She needs to go back to Sweden and help her mooselimb comrades.
