Earthshot Prize: Will a £50m Royal ambition save the planet?

Earthshot Prize: Will a £50m Royal ambition save the planet?

By Sky News

The Nobel-style award was first introduced to us at the end of 2019 in a video clip voiced by Sir David Attenborough.

The aim of the project: to incentivise change and help repair the planet.

Launching the prize, Prince William called it “the most prestigious such award in history”.

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast, Dominic Waghorn is joined by our Royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills, who spoke to the Duke of Cambridge about the ambition and his family’s involvement in environmental campaigning.

Plus, Alice Bell, co-director of climate campaign group Possible, helps to examine just how much of a difference the prize could make in solving the world’s greatest environmental problems by 2030.
