Alternative Nobel Prizes 2025 Honor Global Activists From Climate Fighters to Human Rights Defenders
The Alternative Nobel Prizes, an annual reminder of global struggles, have been awarded for another year. The 'debate', an independent, left-wing daily since 1979, highlights the winners' fight for environmental protection and human rights.
Among the 2025 laureates are the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, who demand action against rising sea levels. Julian Aguon from Guam, a lawyer advocating for indigenous rights, also received the prize. Justice for Myanmar, a group exposing human rights abuses, was honoured for their courageous work.
Taiwanese digital activist Audrey Tang, known for her open-source software contributions, was recognised for her efforts in promoting digital democracy. The Emergency Response Rooms from Sudan, providing first aid in conflict zones, were awarded for their life-saving work.
This year's Alternative Nobel Prizes reflect the urgent need to address global issues, from climate change to human rights abuses. The winners, ranging from student activists to digital innovators, serve as a reminder that people worldwide are fighting for a better future.
