SAN FRANCISCO—Activists who helped block major energy-related development efforts on four continents dominate this year’s Goldman Environmental Prizes, the highest honors in its field.
In all, six recipients from as many countries are being honored at a ceremony here Monday by the Goldman Environmental Foundation, which was started by the late San Francisco philanthropists Richard and Rhoda Goldman to honor grass-roots activists around the world. Former Vice President Al Gore is set to headline the event.
