The Earthshot Prize is a global environmental award that is rewarded to five winners each year for their contributions towards environmentalism.
The prize will be awarded annually from 2021 to 2030 to five individuals or organisations who create impactful and sustainable solutions addressing the planet’s environmental challenges. Each winner receives a grant of £1 million to continue their environmental work. The five categories were inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals; they are ‘restoration and protection of nature’, ‘air cleanliness’, ‘ocean revival’, ‘waste-free living’ and ‘climate action’. Each area is supported by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and scientifically agreed international measures. Submissions are open to any individual, team, organisation, or government with workable solutions. The Earthshot Prize Council is responsible for determining a winner from each category every year. There is a five-stage process to select a winner for each Earthshot, designed alongside the Centre for Public Impact. Nominations are screened with an independent assessment process, a panel of experts then make recommendations to the Prize Council, who select the final winners, narrowed from fifteen finalists. Shortlisted finalists will also receive resources for “tailored support” and connections with organisations to expand their work.
