On 9 December 2007, the IPCC was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its 'efforts to build up and disseminate greater
knowledge about man-made climate change and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such
change'.
The award of the Nobel Peace Prize recognized the importance of addressing the implications
of climate change on stability and human security.
The IPCC Scholarship Programme was established with the funds received from the 2007 Nobel
Peace Prize award to the IPCC. The first funding partner of the Programme was Gro Harlem
Brundtland, former Norwegian Prime Minister and UN Special Envoy on Climate Change. Dr Brundtland
made her donation from the Tallberg Leadership Award, which she received in June 2009.
