ABOUT PRIX VOLTAIRE INTERNATIONAL
A brief intruduction
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, introducing 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a global call to action for peace and sustainability. Awareness of these goals has grown significantly since then.
In 2017, the Prix Voltaire International Foundation (PVI) was founded by three Dutch businessmen to honor ‘Free Spirits’ who challenge societal norms and drive sustainable innovation. These ‘Friendly Fighters for Futureproof Fundamentals’ play a key role in achieving the SDGs. Through the “Sustainobel” petition, PVI advocates for a Nobel Prize for Sustainability while celebrating these individuals as modern examples of innovation and positivity.
Laureates
UNITED NATIONS 17 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
In September 2015 the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all members of the United Nations, providing a ‘Shared Blueprint for Peace and Prosperity for People and the Planet, now and in the future..’ The agenda’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) are an urgent call to action for all countries in a Global partnership.
Since that moment awareness for the sustainability subjects has gone through an impressive development and its topics increasingly became a priority to society.
