The Right Livelihood Award, often called the ‘Alternative Nobel,’ recognized Dr. Yunus alongside climate scientist Dr. Saleemul Huq and others for their work in climate justice and sustainable development. Yunus’s Grameen Climate Fund and Huq’s advocacy for vulnerable nations (like Bangladesh) in global climate negotiations highlighted the intersection of microfinance and environmental resilience. This award underscored their role in addressing systemic inequalities exacerbated by climate change.
