Prince William said he was 'delighted' that the ceremony would head to Singapore.
The Earthshot Prize, which was founded by Britain’s Prince William in 2020, will give £1 million each to five winners to help them scale up their environmental innovation projects for the future.
From Nov 6, global leaders, businesses and investors will convene in Singapore with prize winners and finalists to explore ventures aimed at bringing about “tangible action” to heal the planet, the ceremony’s organisers said on Monday. The prize is supported by philanthropic organisation Temasek Trust, investment company Temasek, decarbonisation investment platform GenZero, non-profit environmental organisation Conservation International and Standard Chartered Bank.
Last year’s awards funded projects including that of a team from Oman that promised to eliminate billions of carbon dioxide by turning it into rock, as well as a business from Kenya that reduced air pollution by crafting reliable stoves from waste metal.
