The seminar will provide a platform for three Right Livelihood Award (RLA) Laureates: Frances Moore-Lappé (RLA 1987, USA), Hans Herren (RLA 2013, Switzerland), and Nnimmo Bassey (RLA 2010, Nigeria) to share their experiences and reflect on how bottom-up approaches can reduce the burden of disease, using science to influence policy at the nexus of global health, climate change and the environment. An interdisciplinary report on the topic will be presented, including recommendations for future action. We encourage active participation in the dialogue.  Feedback from the Laureates and public audience members will be incorporated into the final version of the report.
