Herman Daly is one of the world's foremost ecological economists, receiving the 1996 Right Livelihood Award for "defining a path of ecological economics that integrates the key elements of ethics, quality of life, environment and community." He has received numerous other awards recognizing his ecological contributions, such as the Heineken Prize for Environmental Science awarded by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. As the author of over 100 books and articles, Daly's work has helped to show why our current global economy is harming the environment and has provided key insights into guiding the debate about what to do about the situation. As the Senior Economist in the Environment Department of the World Bank he tried to advocate changes in policy that would lead to more sustainable development practices. He left the World Bank in 1994 after six years to teach ecological economics at the University of Maryland and to edit the journal, Ecological Economics, which he co-founded.
