The Earthshot Prize’s Post

Moments from London Climate Action Week... Thank you to everyone who joined us in London and to our Partners who made it all happen including Bloomberg Philanthropies, Deloitte, Breakthrough Energy and Mastercard. #LCAW2024

Iconic Wimbledon strawberries and cream in a Notpla seaweed-coated totally sustainable and biodegradable box? Yes please. As part of this year's Wimbledon Championships Notpla are supplying their seaweed-coated boxes to Compass Group UK & Ireland, the official caterers of The Championships. Since winning the Prize, 4.4m single-use plastic units have been replaced with Notpla products, displacing the equivalent of 8.5 tonnes of plastic waste and avoiding 250 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2023 alone.

Earthshot Prize Founder Prince William shares how The Earthshot Prize has impacted 4.4M people through the work of the Finalists and Winners so far. However, we recognise that we're facing a crisis and we must take action and create impact if we're to achieve a better world!   Check out the full video to hear Prince William speak at the 'Stories of Impact' event alongside our Finalists and Winners, Earthshot Prize Trustee 'Tokunboh Ishmael, CFA and Founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies, Mike Bloomberg. #LCAW2024

What better way to wrap London Climate Action Week than on the iconic Piccadilly Lights, celebrating our Finalists’ stories of impact on the big screen? London is the birthplace of the Earthshot Prize, and since our inception we have been discovering, spotlighting and awarding solutions from around the world. The impact our portfolio is having for their communities and for the planet is enormous and tangible, with 420,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided and 170,000 square kilometres of land and ocean protected and restored. In this moment, their work is not just recognized, but also a call to action: Join us. Join the movement. And together we can repair and regenerate our planet.
