Be inspired by some of the planet's greatest environmental innovators when you watch the Earthshot Prize Awards, now streaming on Showmax.
The Earthshot Prize searches the globe for game-changing innovations that will help us repair our planet, awarding the very best five solutions each year with £1 million to scale their work.
On Wednesday, 6 November, the five 2024 Earthshot Prize Winners were announced at a star-studded awards ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winner Billy Porter and award-winning television presenter Bonang Matheba. The 2024 winners, selected from this year’s 15 Earthshot Finalists, will be awarded £1 million each to accelerate and scale their game-changing environmental solutions.
The Awards were presented by the likes of international superstars Heidi Klum, Winnie Harlow and Nina Dobrev, while the Awards' co-founder, HRH The Prince of Wales, made an impassioned speech to close out the ceremony.
Speaking on the night, he said: “I believe our world can be rich in possibility, in hope, and in optimism. That is why The Earthshot Prize exists. To champion the game-changers, the inventors, the makers, the creatives, the leaders; to help them build upon the amazing things they’ve already achieved; to speed their innovations to scale and to inspire the next generation to create the future we all need."
