Even though he wasn’t in Oslo for the ceremony, when Al Gore learned that he was the co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Peace, he already knew what the medal and diploma look like. Many of us don’t, though. Do you wonder what does the Nobel Peace Prize look like? The photo above is an example of the medal. Quite something, huh?
The Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo rather than Stockholm, where all of the others are presented. That was the wish of Alfred Nobel. In his will, he ordered that that the Nobel Peace Prize is to be awarded by a committee of five persons elected by the Norwegian Storting or parliament.
I wish to reiterate my congratulations to former Vice President Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their victory and to the members of the committee for their decision. If you’d like to watch the 4-minute video of the announcement, surf over to
