The 2023 Right Livelihood Laureates have faced off against social taboos around abortion in African countries, Cambodia’s authoritarian regime and corrupt businesses, a growing humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean Sea, and unsafe industrial practices in Kenya to demand a liveable future for all.

Since 1980, the Right Livelihood Award has honoured and supported courageous people solving global problems. It comes with long-term support to highlight and expand the Laureates’ work. To date, 194 Laureates from 76 countries have received the award. In 2023, 170 nominees from 68 countries were considered.
