Report: The Earthshot Prize Winners 2024

The challenges facing our planet are immense, but this year’s Earthshot Prize highlighted that not only do we have reason to be optimistic, but we also have a responsibility to remain hopeful and champion positive change. “We want to make this the decade in which we transform the world for good, one solution at a time from the ground up,” Prince William highlighted at the ceremony.

Held on 6th November 2024 in Cape Town, the 2024 awards ceremony recognised five more groundbreaking solutions working to transform our planet for the better, in line with the five Earthshots: Fix Our Climate, Revive Our Oceans, Build A Waste-Free World, Protect And Restore Nature, and Clean Our Air.

Chosen through a rigorous process that began in December 2023, the five winning solutions will receive a £1 million prize as well as mentorship, resources, and technical support as part of The Earthshot Prize Fellowship Programme.

Our 2024 Winners Report brings the stories of each solution to life, giving you a deeper look into the problems they’re solving and their impact.
