For the unversed, The Earth shot Prize was launched by the Duke of Cambridge and The Royal Foundation in October 2020. With the help of the initiative, Prince William aims at making “maximum positive personal contribution” so that he could tell his children that he did his bit for the Earth and the environment.
In a documentary series about the Prize, via Town and Country, Prince William noted, “Our planet is now in a crisis. Its delicately-balanced systems are becoming more and more unstable with every passing year. So for the sake of future generations, let’s act now.”
The winners this year have been confirmed to receive £1 million each to expand their innovation which will further benefit the environment. The official statement from the Kensington Palace has noted that the event “will be a celebration of the natural world,” which will focus on impacting the environment in a positive way.
