Over the past six months, The Earthshot Prize, in collaboration with its Global Alliance network of over 200 Nominators, has been searching the world – from businesses to governments, grassroots initiatives and more – for solutions to our Earthshot challenges and identifying a final set of astounding innovations from every corner of the globe.
During The Earthshot Prize: London 2021 on 17 October, viewers around the world will have the chance to meet the individuals and teams behind these ground-breaking solutions, and see the first five winners of The Earthshot Prize receive their awards. These winning solutions will have the power to help repair our planet and improve life for people everywhere and each awardee will receive £1 million to scale their solutions.
The historic event will be broadcast in the UK on BBC One and to a global audience with a major broadcast partner, featuring show-stopping performances and never-before-seen musical collaborations.
The next 10 years will be critical for the future of our planet. Across the decade-long lifespan of the Prize, nine more international cities will be transformed into Earthshot venues, showcasing the worldwide impact of the Prize and profiling the incredible people working to repair our planet. By the end of the decade, 10 global ceremonies will award fifty incredible winners with The Earthshot Prize.
This announcement comes just ahead of London Climate Action Week, taking place between the 26 June – 4 July, where London will host the largest independent climate festival in Europe, bringing together world-leading climate thinkers, professionals and communities to harness the power of London for global climate action.
