The Earthshot Prize is a global environmental award that is rewarded to five winners each year for their contributions towards environmentalism. It was first awarded in 2021 and is planned to run annually until 2030. Each winner receives a grant of £1 million to continue their environmental work. The five categories were inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals; they are 'restoration and protection of nature', 'air cleanliness', 'ocean revival', 'waste-free living' and 'climate action'.

The Prize was launched in 2020 by Prince William and the biologist and natural historian David Attenborough. The winners are selected by the Earthshot Prize Council, which includes William and Attenborough.

Background and launch

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge announced the Earthshot Prize on 31 December 2019, after two years of development, to be given to five individuals or organisations who provided impactful and sustainable solutions for the planet's environmental problems between 2021 and 2030.[2]  William stated that he felt responsibility to establish the prize as Earth was at a "tipping point" and cited the work of his grandfather Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, his father Charles, Prince of Wales, and the broadcaster David Attenborough as inspiring influences.[3] [4] The prize's name is inspired by the former American president John F. Kennedy's Moonshot.[5]

William and Attenborough formally launched in October 2020,[3] with a prize budget of £50 million over the next decade.[6] To commemorate the launch William gave a Ted Talk discussing climate change and encouraged world leaders to take action.[7] The pair appeared together in the ITV documentary A Planet For Us All (2020), which detailed the importance of environmental work and discussed the new prize.[8]

Management and funding

The project is funded by donations from philanthropists and charitable organisations, including: Aga Khan Development Network,[9] Bloomberg Philanthropies, DP World in partnership with Dubai Expo 2020,[10] the Jack Ma Foundation, Marc and Lynne Benioff, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Green Belt Movement, Greenpeace, Conservation International and the Bezos Earth Fund.[11] [12] [13] Hannah Jones is the programme's CEO.[14]

In July 2022, it was announced that after being a part of the Royal Foundation for two years, the prize had become an independent charity.[15] Christiana Figueres, David Fein, Tokunboh Ishamael, M. Sanjayan, Jason Knauf, Zoë Ware and Jean-Christophe Gray were also appointed to the board of trustees in the same month.[15] The former prime minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern joined the board in April 2023.[16] [17]

Categories and nomination process

A £1 million prize will be awarded annually between 2021 and 2030 to a winner in each of the following five categories:

In September 2023, ahead of the second Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York City, animal rights and climate activist, Genesis Butler, partnered with Generation Vegan to request the Prince of Wales to add an "Advance a Plant-Based Food System" category, matching the sum that the other five category winners receive.[23]

Each area is supported by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and scientifically agreed international measures.[24] Submissions are open to any individual, team, organisation, or government with workable solutions.[25] The Earthshot Prize Council is responsible for determining a winner from each category every year.[6] There is a five-stage process to select a winner for each Earthshot, designed alongside the Centre for Public Impact.[26] Nominations are screened with an independent assessment process run by Deloitte.[27] A panel of experts then make recommendations to the Prize Council, who select the final winners, narrowed from fifteen finalists.[3] Shortlisted finalists will also receive resources for "tailored support" and connections with organisations to expand their work.[25]

Earthshot Prize Council

The Earthshot Prize Council comprises global ambassadors from a range of sectors dedicated towards positive action in the environmental space.[28] The thirteen members are Prince William, Queen Rania of Jordan, actress Cate Blanchett, David Attenborough, Ernest Gibson, environmental activist Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, business executive Indra Nooyi, businessman Jack Ma, Luisa Neubauer, former astronaut Naoko Yamazaki, economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, fashion designer Stella McCartney, and former professional basketball player Yao Ming who select the winners in a judging session led by Christiana Figueres.[29] Former members were Dani Alves and Shakira.[30] In May 2021, Luisa Neubauer and Ernest Gibson were announced as new members of the council.[31] In September 2021, Michael Bloomberg was named as a global adviser to the winners of the prize.[32]

A book entitled Earthshot: How To Save Our Planet was written to accompany the prizes, written by Colin Butfield and Jonnie Hughes, with contributions from several of the judges. Butfield and Hughes also produced an accompanying five-part BBC One TV series about the project.[33] The book was published in the UK, Europe and across the Commonwealth on 30 September 2021, and in the US on 5 October. The five-part series, titled The Earthshot Prize: Repairing Our Planet, was broadcast by BBC One in the first two weeks of October and available for streaming on BBC iPlayer and Discovery+.[34] [35] The miniseries consisted of documentary style episodes, each based on the five UN Sustainable Development Goals, and were presented by William and David Attenborough.[36]

Earthshot Prize Global Alliance

In September 2021, it was announced that the Earthshot Prize Global Alliance—consisting of companies such as Arup, Bloomberg L.P., Deloitte, Herbert Smith Freehills, Hitachi, the INGKA Group, Microsoft, MultiChoice, Natura & Co, Safaricom, Salesforce, Unilever, Vodacom, and Walmart—will help "scale up" ideas submitted by the inaugural 15 finalists.[37]

A nine-month Fellowship Programme was launched in 2022 to help the finalists develop more ideas by forming partnerships with various businesses and organisations that are part of the Earthshot Prize Global Alliance.[38] Since 2022, the Earthshot has co-hosted an annual innovation summit together with Bloomberg Philanthropies.[39]

In May 2023, the Earthshot Prize announced a two-year partnership with YouTube, which would include "co-branded campaigns, events and creator collaborations".[40] [41] In July 2023, Prince William joined with YouTube channel Sorted Food to serve veggie burgers from a food truck in London. The burgers were made and served with items sourced from the 2022 winners.[42]

In March 2024, the Earthshot Prize Launchpad was initiated as a matchmaking platform to connect Earthshot winners and innovators with investors and philanthropists.[43]

2021 Award winners and nominees

Nominations for the inaugural prize ceremony opened on 1 November 2020, with over 100 nominating partners eligible to submit.[44] The ceremony took place on 17 October 2021 at Alexandra Palace in London[45] and was broadcast on Discovery+ and BBC One.[45] Clara Amfo and Dermot O'Leary hosted the event while the awards were presented by the Duchess of Cambridge, actresses Emma Thompson and Emma Watson, actor David Oyelowo and footballer Mohamed Salah.[46] Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, KSI and Yemi Alade, and Shawn Mendes performed at the event.[46] Sixty cyclists pedalling on bikes provided the power for music performances. None of the celebrities travelled to London by plane and the stage was built using sustainable, non-plastic materials such as recycled wood and metal. All of the guests were advised to choose environmentally appropriate outfits which included wearing clothes made from sustainable materials, such as organic cotton, recycled fabrics, and second-hand items.
