William ‘deeply proud’ as 2025 Earthshot finalists announced

The Prince of Wales says there is an 'urgent optimism' at the heart of the Earthshot Prize

William founded the prize to recognise and scale up ideas to help “repair” the planet, with the five winning finalists each awarded £1 million to further develop their ideas.

Winners will be announced at the fifth Earthshot Prize awards in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Wednesday November 5.

The prize recognises solutions from different geographies, sectors and stages in their life cycle, and is dedicated to solving the planet's greatest challenges.

The event in 2025 marks the halfway point in the Earthshot decade, with William pointing out that at the time of its launch in 2020, scientists made clear significant changes had to be made by 2030.
