Fifteen finalists announced for 2025 Earthshot Prize

Fifteen finalists have been shortlisted for the 2025 Earthshot Prize, an initiative launched by Britain’s Prince William to recognise and reward groundbreaking solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

This year’s finalists represent projects from across the globe, focusing on microplastic pollution reduction, large-scale reforestation, ocean conservation, and sustainable building design. Each innovation aims to accelerate the planet’s transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Winners will be announced later this year, with five projects set to receive £1 million each to further develop and expand their environmental solutions. The Earthshot Prize, established in 2020, continues to be one of the most prestigious global environmental awards.
