Democracy
SPOTLIGHT
With 2024 gearing up to be a record election year, Right Livelihood Laureates have a wealth of knowledge and perspectives to share on democratic challenges across the world. With 194 Laureates from 76 countries, their insights and experiences vary and help paint a nuanced picture of how the challenges differ between regions and countries.
It is Right Livelihood's core belief that democracy is essential in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world. It's a challenge that requires engaged citizens, local initiatives and dissenting voices highlighted, to achieve results.
In many parts of the world, it is accepted that democracy constitutes the de facto measure of good governance, adherence to human rights, and protection of peoples’ will. However, democracy as a concept can be complicated.
2024 is a historic election year, with more than half of the world’s population going to the ballot boxes in 65 countries.
