Prince William announces the five inspiring projects that will receive £1 million each. The ceremony at Alexandra Palace is hosted by Dermot O’Leary and Clara Amfo.
From Alexandra Palace in London, Dermot O’Leary and Clara Amfo host a star-studded event at which Prince William will hand out the first Earthshot Prize awards. Five inspiring projects that are tackling urgent environmental challenges will receive £1 million each. Performing guests include Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Yemi Alade, KSI and Shawn Mendes. Taking inspiration from President John F Kennedy’s 'moonshot' project in the 1960s, the Earthshot Prize is centred around five ‘Earthshots’ – simple but ambitious goals for our planet which, if achieved by 2030, will improve life for generations to come. Five £1 million prizes will be awarded each year for the next ten years, funding at least 50 solutions to the world’s greatest environmental problems.
