Fifty Solutions to Repair the Planet? Prince William Will Award 50 Million Pounds to Find Out

Through his Earthshot prize, Prince William will award fifty £1m prizes over the next ten years to provide fifty solutions to repair the planet by 2030.

“We believe this decade is one of the most crucial decades for the environment. And by 2030 we really hope to have made a huge stride in fixing some of the biggest problems on Earth,” says the Duke of Cambridge. “I do believe in human ingenuity, and I do believe in the younger generations speaking up as they are now, that they will not stand for this lack of hope.”

The prize revolves around five simple but ambitious goals for the planet: protect and restore nature, clean our air, revive the oceans, build a waster-free world, and fix the climate. Individuals, people-powered movements, businesses, cities, and countries can be nominated for the prizes. Nominations for the first five £1m prizes will open on 1 November.
