An annual ceremony will be held in different cities across the globe between 2021 and 2030 and it will be awarded to “anyone who is making a substantial development or outstanding contribution to solving our environmental challenges.” — meanwhile, it shall provide answers to the biggest issues currently faced by the planet, including climate and energy, nature and biodiversity, oceans, air pollution and freshwater. Yet it could be awarded to a wide range of individuals, teams, cities or collaborations, — the Reuters reported the prize is worth multi-millions, but no specific details on the size of the prizes have been given. Nevertheless, Prince William remained the president of the World Wildlife Fund — with time to time, he showed his concerned over climate changes — in his recent visit with the Duchess to Pakistan he also urged that the UK and Pakistan government should work together to tackle the “impending global catastrophe” due to climate change. His visits to Broghil Chitral, in the north most of Pakistan also followed his anxiousness regarding the significant changes in the global temperature. The prestigious UK based newspaper Daily Mail describes the recent move of the duke in it its article as, “the establishment of the annual Earthshot Prize represents his first serious independent move since he and his brother split their households and charities last year. While his latest initiative undoubtedly owes much to what he has learned from his father, William has embraced the more optimistic outlook of Prince Philip, who pioneered royal concern over the planet’s long-term future more than half a century ago.” On the other hand, Colin Butfield, executive director of the World Wide Fund for Nature, welcomed the initiative, saying as, “In just ten years we can go from fear to hope, from disaster to discovery and from inertia to inspiration. The Earthshot Prize challenges us all to make this the decade that we build a future to be proud of.”
