He founded the first global grassroots climate campaign, 350.org, and serves as the Schumann Distinguished Professor in Residence at Middlebury College in Vermont. He has been awarded the Right Livelihood Prize, sometimes called the alternative Nobel; the Gandhi Peace Award; and honorary degrees from 19 colleges and universities.
