The Duke of Cambridge has announced a new awards scheme for climate change activists named the Earthshot Prize.

The multimillion-pound initiative comprises a set of challenges designed to inspire a decade of action to repair the planet.

“The challenges will be a chance for everyone’s voice to be heard, we want to motivate and inspire a new generation of thinkers, leaders and dreamers,” reads a statement on the scheme’s website.

“Our prizes will reward progress across all sectors of industry and society, not just technology,” it adds, noting that the prizes could be awarded to “anyone who is making a substantial development or outstanding contribution to solving our environmental challenges,” including scientists, activists, economists, leaders, governments, banks, businesses, cities, and countries.

Prince William will be awarding one prize to five winners every year for the next 10 years. There will be an annual awards ceremony every year between 2021 and 2030 that will take place in a different city around the world each time.
