Nobel Peace Price

Swedish Green Party Celebrates the Nobel Peace Price to Wangari Maathai

It is with great pleasure and happiness we have received the message that the Nobel Peace Price 2004 is awarded to Wangari Maathai.

As the leading figure for the Green Belt Movement and as the founder of the Mazingira Green Party in Kenya, Wangari is a prominent figure for all Greens, all over the world, and we celebrate this day with You.

We are also delighted that the Nobel Peace Price for the first time is recognizing the unbreakable relations between local democracy, ecology, peace and freedom.

We are proud of the cooperation we had during the past years, as partners between Green Belt Movement and our foundation Green Forum. We look forward to future contacts in frame of the Global Green Co-ordination.
