Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change Among Winners of 2025 Right Livelihood Award

HeadlineOct 01, 2025

This year’s Right Livelihood Awards have been announced in Stockholm today. A student-led group from the Pacific Islands and human rights lawyer from Guam, Julian Aguon, were jointly recognized for taking their fight against climate change to the International Court of Justice, which found earlier this year that polluting countries, primarily from the Global North, are legally obligated to address global warming. Other winners include the Sudanese group Emergency Response Rooms, the group Justice for Myanmar and the Taiwanese activist Audrey Tang.
