Former American Vice President and environmental campaigner Al Gore has been honored by the western Swedish city of Gothenburg for his work for green issues.

The Gothenburg Prize for Sustainable Development was established in 1999 by the city council and local business leaders. The jury praised Gore for raising awareness of environmental issues, and in particular for his Oscar-winning film that dealt with climate change, ”An Inconvenient Truth”, and his work on the Live Earth concerts held in July.

According to the prize committee, Gore will accept his award in Gothenburg next January.

6. This and hopefully winning the Nobel Prize...

Will give him even more backing in his environmental efforts and his three year plan with The Alliance for Climate Protection. I think it is fantastic that he has done so well out here, which to me proves that when you follow your heart it leads to success.
