The Prince of Wales has revealed the shortlist of 15 innovators in the running to win one of five £1 million (about $1.2 million) grants from his prestigious eco-prize later this year.
Prince William flew to New York on Monday for a two-day visit during which he attended the second Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, an event which coincides with both Climate Week NYC and the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, and where the finalists were unveiled. The 41-year-old prince and his Royal Foundation launched the Earthshot Prize, an ambitious £50 million project, back in 2020 with the goal of finding “trailblazing climate solutions to repair our planet by 2030.
Kennedy’s “moonshot” speech in 1962 when he tasked the United States to push forward with space exploration. The competition is based around five “Earthshots” or environmental goals: “Protect and Restore Nature,” “Clean Our Air,” “Revive Our Oceans,” “Build a Waste Free World,” and “Fix Our Climate.” Three finalists are attached to each Earthshot, with one winner per category. Upon touching down at Newark Airport on Monday, the Prince of Wales said it was good to be back in the US.
