UN lauds Al Gore, environment leaders at green awards
SINGAPORE, April 19 (Reuters) - The United Nations named former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Olympics chief Jacques Rogge as recipients of environmental awards on Thursday, and urged more action to stop global warming.

Only two of the seven winners were present at the ceremony in Singapore to receive trophies made from recycled metal.

Gore, a dedicated climate crusader who starred in his 2006 global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", was represented by actress and environmental activist Darryl Hannah.

"It has taken too long for global leaders, especially in the United States, to wake up to this fact and respond, but I have hope," Gore said in a speech read by Hannah at the ceremony.
