1 Feb Deadline to endorse a Nobel Peace Prize themed for Sustainable Development

  • 1.  1 Feb Deadline to endorse a Nobel Peace Prize themed for Sustainable Development

    Please excuse the cross-posting if you've received this from more than one list.

    For the past couple of years I have been promoting this Peace Prize themed for sustainable development (not a new Nobel, a bona fide Peace Prize).  We are gaining momentum as the ecological health of the planet slides downhill, especially recently.

    Please take a look at NP4SD.org, spend 2 minutes to read the preamble, 2 more to read proposal in a scrollable box mid-page, and an extra minute to fill out 4 boxes on the Nominate/Endorse form.

    The Title & Affiliation box is important.  It allows us to distinguish the very helpful public endorsements from the qualified nominations, which are vital for adoption by the Nobel Committee in Oslo.  So please do fill that box out as well (free form with 256 character max).  Here's a brief 4-minute video explanation of the initiative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7VJccJlPN0

    And of course, please share this initiative with sympathetic friends, family, and colleagues.

    Sincere thanks,
    Stuart

    Stuart Scott, Executive Director
