SHILLONG, India–Three thousand Indian tribal chiefs in one of the world’s wettest regions have invited ex-US vice president Al Gore to pick up an award for creating awareness about climate change.
The prize will be presented on October 6 near Shillong, capital of northeastern Meghalaya state, at a ceremony expected to be attended by 300,000 people, organizers said.
Top Indian economists and green campaigners are also likely to be present.
