The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Al Gore and to the UN climate panel (IPCC)

“for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change”

The impact of the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” has been spectacular changing the debate of climate change and raising awareness of the urgency of this subject worldwide in a very short period of time. The movie has become mandatory viewing in schools in Engand, Scotland and many countries in Scandinavia. We should pay tribute also to the person who made it possible for Al Gore’s message to be disseminated in such an efficient way by making it into a movie and promoting it. Jeff Skoll, philanthropist, social entrepreneur, founder and Chairman of Skoll Foundation and the independent movie company Participant Productions was the key person behind this. Thank you Jeff and congratulations!
