The Earthshot Prize

Who we are

The Earthshot Prize is the world’s most prestigious and impactful environmental award. Founded by HRH Prince William in 2020, The Prize recognises solutions from different geographies, sectors and stages in their life cycle, dedicated to solving our planet’s greatest challenges. We identify, celebrate and back groundbreaking leadership across five Earthshots: • Clean our Air • Fix our Climate • Revive our Oceans • Build a Waste-Free World • Protect and Restore Nature. Each year, we select 15 Finalists, and award five Winners £1M each to help advance or replicate their work and recognise their achievement and potential. The Earthshot Prize, is about more than recognition, it’s the world’s most ambitious network connecting innovators, funders, and communities to back climate leaders and restore confidence in our ability to save the planet.
