Kimberly Nicholas, Asssociate Professor at LUCSUS, is one of six recipients of the 2024 Planet Earth Award, a prestigous prize which acknowledges individuals who champion life on Earth.

These individuals received the prize because they demonstrate exceptional creativity or contributions in their work in science-based advocacy with the public, policymakers, or other non-scientist groups seeking solutions to environmental challenges.

– I was very happy when I got the news. It feels good to have my outreach work recognized. I really feel that the best way I can make a positive impact is to bring what is known from science to those who can put this knowledge into practice. So this award is an important validation of science-based advocacy, communication and dialogue, says Associate Professor Kimberly Nicholas.

– I was also honored to be recognized alongside one of my  long-time heroes, climate scientist Dr. Jim Hansen!

The prize is awarded by the The Alliance of World Scientists – an international assembly of scientists, which is independent of both governmental and non-governmental organizations and corporations. The main goal of the AWS is to be a collective international voice of many scientists regarding global climate and environmental trends and how to turn accumulated knowledge into action. The AWS currently has 27,000 Subscribing Members From 180 Countries.
