The winners of the environmental awards, established by the heir to the British throne, each received $1.91 million in prize money after being announced in Singapore.
Prince William has issued a rallying cry against the forces of climate change denialism and defeatism at his annual Earthshot Prize for environmental innovation, where five winners from around the world were awarded $1.91 million.
“I choose to believe that future generations will look back on this decade as the point at which we globally took collective action for our planet ... the moment we refused to accept the voices of denial and defeatism and instead became the architects of change towards a healthy and sustainable world,” he said.
The recipients were Accion Andina, a South American initiative to protect native forests in the Andes Mountains; Hong Kong-based GRST, which has developed a new way to build and recycle lithium batteries for electric cars; global non-profit WildAid Marine Program, for its efforts to combat illegal fishing; India’s S4S Technologies, whose solar-powered dryers and processing equipment help farmers preserve food; and US-headquartered Boomitra, for promoting land restoration on three continents...
The competition was introduced in 2020 by Prince William’s Royal Foundation charity and Sir David Attenborough to support game-changing innovation and is marketed as the most prestigious environmental award in history.
