Global Alliance Partners

The Earthshot Prize is supported by its Global Alliance, an unprecedented network of organisations worldwide which share the ambition of the Prize to incentivise change and help to repair our planet over the next ten years.

The Green Belt Movement named a Global Alliance Partner of The Earthshot Prize, launched today by Prince William

October 8, 2020 marked the launch of The Earthshot Prize, the most prestigious global environment prize in history, incentivising worldwide change with a decade of action to repair our planet.

We are extremely proud to be a Global Alliance Partner, and to have worked closely with The Royal Foundation on the development of The Earthshot Prize. This project will support the global effort to protect and restore the environment while also turning the current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism, highlighting the ability of human ingenuity to bring about change.

Taking inspiration from John F. Kennedy’s Moonshot, which united millions of people around an organising goal to put man on the moon, and catalysed the development of new technology in the 1960s, The Earthshot Prize is centred around five ‘Earthshots’.

This project will support the global effort to protect and restore the environment while also turning the current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism, highlighting the ability of human ingenuity to bring about change.

Together, they form a unique set of challenges rooted in science, which aim to generate new ways of thinking, as well as new technologies, systems, policies and solutions.

By bringing these five critical issues together, The Earthshot Prize recognises the interconnectivity between environmental challenges and the urgent need to tackle them together.

Every year from 2021 until 2030, Prince William, alongside The Earthshot Prize Council, which covers six continents, will award The Earthshot Prize to five winners, one per Earthshot, whose evidence-based solutions make the most progress towards these goals.

We are delighted and proud to be a Global Alliance Partner of this critical initiative.
