The Nobel Sustainability Trust announced that it will award the 2024 Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Sustainability to Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, president of Mexico. This recognition is based on her policies in environmental preservation. However, her name does not appear on the official website of the foundation alongside other awardees, which has caused controversy and rumors about whether she was actually awarded.
According to sources consulted by Publimetro Mexico directly with Nobel Sustainability Trust, Sheinbaum's absence from the official portal is due to a logistical issue. The event will be crucial to highlight the efforts of world leaders in sustainability and the importance of immediate action in the face of the climate crisis.
Regarding Sheinbaum's attendance at the award ceremony, the president has mentioned that her schedule may hinder her participation, as the event coincides with the celebration of the Mexican Revolution Day, an important holiday in Mexico, and she has a meeting scheduled with companies and the government of Germany.
Sheinbaum will become the first Mexican woman to receive this distinction, thus emphasizing the relevance of her work in sustainability and environmental policies. The Nobel Sustainability Trust Sustainability Award will be held between November 20 and 21, 2024, at the University of California, Berkeley, United States.
The president accepted the recognition late, which delayed the update of her inclusion on the official website. Direct information from the foundation assures that the page will be updated with Claudia's image and information to clear any doubts about her award. This award highlights individuals and organizations that have significantly contributed in areas related to sustainability and the implementation of beneficial solutions for society and the environment. This is only the second edition in which this prestigious recognition is granted.
