In search for solutions to solve the Earth’s top environmental challenges, the United Kingdom’s royals have launched a multi-million-pound prize on December 31, known as the ‘Earthshot Prize.’
In a statement, Prince William said: “The earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate and problem-solve.”
According to the Earthshot Prize website, the organization will be awarding a prestigious prize to five winners per year over the next decade. It hopes to provide at least 50 solutions to the world’s greatest problems by 2030.
“Led by Prince William and a global alliance, the Earthshot Prize will inspire the planet’s greatest problem solvers to solve Earth’s greatest problems: the emergencies facing our natural world, “ read a recent post by the official Instagram account of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, based at Kensington Palace.
