What is the Earthshot Prize?
Lancaster University’s Centre for Global Eco-Innovation has been invited to return as an official ‘nominator’ for a prestigious prize led by Prince William and Sir David Attenborough. The Earthshot Prize, described as the most ambitious and prestigious of its kind, is designed to provide incentives for change and help to repair our planet over the next ten years. Each year five winners will be awarded £1,000,000 to support their work.
Taking inspiration from President John F. Kennedy’s Moonshot which united millions of people around an organising goal to put people on the moon and catalysed the development of new technology in the 1960s, The Earthshot Prize is centred around five ‘Earthshots’. These are simple but ambitious goals for our planet which, if achieved by 2030, will improve life for us all, for generations to come.
