About the Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy

The Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy is the world’s most distinguished award in the field of environmental law. The award was established in 1997 by the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ, in cooperation with the Haub Family, to honor the legacy of Elisabeth Haub (1899–1977), a noted philanthropist and advocate for strong laws for the conservation of nature.
