The 2025 Earthshot Prize finalists are finally here!
In a new post shared on his and Princess Kateâs joint Instagram handle on Saturday, October 4, Prince William delivered a powerful message as he announced this yearâs Earthshot finalists.
Marking five years of the impactful project, the Prince of Wales expressed, "As we reach the halfway point of the Earthshot decade, I am truly inspired by this year's Finalists, which embody the urgent optimism sitting right at the heart of our mission.â
He continued, âIn just five years, The Earthshot Prize has shown that the answers to our planetâs greatest challenges not only already exist, but that they are firmly within our grasp.â
The future King went on to say that the initiative was launched because this âdecadeâ matters, and that 2030 is a âthresholdâ by which future generations would judge us.
âI am deeply proud of what the Earthshot Prize has done in its first five years, and Iâm enormously excited for the next five,â he added.
Prince William is set to travel to Brazil next month to award five deserving projects with a ÂŁ1million grant as part of his 2025 Earthshot Prize.
