#earthshot prize’24

[charlotte-of-wales]

Africa has always held a special place in my heart – as somewhere I found comfort as a teenager, where I proposed to my wife and most recently as the founding inspiration behind The @EarthshotPrize. It was in Namibia in 2018 that I realised the power of how innovative, positive solutions to environmental problems could drive transformative change for humans and nature.

I am proud that since its inception The Earthshot Prize has travelled to Europe, North America and Asia, spotlighting and scaling 45 groundbreaking solutions, all of which are having a tangible impact as we work as a global collective to secure the future of our planet. This week we’ll travel to South Africa to spotlight our next cohort of 15 Finalists and have the opportunity to join partners from across Africa to celebrate the inspiring approach to environmental innovation that is taking place across the continent. 

 By the end of the week, I want The Earthshot Prize to have provided a platform to all those innovators bringing about change for their communities, encouraged potential investors to speed African solutions to scale and inspired young people across Africa who are engaged in climate issues. I firmly believe that if we come together with collective ambition and urgency, we can reshape the future of our planet.”

Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter speech for the Earthshot Prize from NYC on 24 September 2025.

"Yes, actors have stages and moments like this, therefore they have influence but it's only best when we lead by example and we can encourage new norms that are cleaner, greener and fairer for all of us. In doing so we hope to change the narrative as well, from fear and doom to possibility and agency. We can signal to audiences that climate action isn't just about giving things up, it's also about taking things up, that can be inclusive, accessible, innovative and exciting."

The Earthshot Prize is an environmental challenge that catalyzes urgent optimism & action by discovering, accelerating, awarding, spotlighting & scaling solutions to repair & regenerate the planet. The summit will convene business leaders, philanthropists, investors and government leaders alongside Earthshot Prize Finalists and Winners to strengthen the power of the global Earthshot community.

Sophie talked about her production Salt of the Earth that premiered recently in Venice, "an act of story-telling created through deep collaboration with scientists, activists and local initiatives" that "shone a light on an overlooked and disregarded but vital ecosystem: salt marshes."

Benedict talked about supporting Green Rider, a campaign and grassroots union network of creatives campaigning for a fairer, more sustainable, eco-friendly film industry. Green Rider is developing strong examples of how cast can supercharge climate action through the industry and create a blueprint that others can easily follow.

Lady C Tea YouTube 11/7/24 (a few nuggets paraphrased by me - The Trump vs Harry Edition) by u/daisybeach23

Lady C Tea YouTube 11/7/24 (a few nuggets paraphrased by me - The Trump vs Harry Edition) Greetings from Castle Goring,Lady C, what will Megsy Baby do now that Trump has been elected President?  Will she move to Nigeria since she is 43% Nigerian?  I think Megsy Baby will resist taking a leaf from Price William’s playbook and exhibit grace.  As you know William’s Earthshot prize was eclipsed by the American election and William demonstrated grace and poise.  William demonstrated humility. he gave insight into her personal life. William gave credit to his wife for being amazing throughout her cancer journey.  Catherine is astute and sensible.  She knows that even though she has been given the all clear, the cancer could return. So with all of this going on, Megsy Baby is being ignored.  What a wicked world we live in!Lady C, what will happen if the Royal cousins try to go around the world, doing faux Royal tours.  Megsy Baby is trying to setup a faux Royal court.  This is all delusional.  Well, my understanding is Megsy Baby is fighting for survival in more ways than one.  Poor Megsy Baby.  One Tear.  Left Eye.  Go!!!!!  Megsy baby is getting her just desserts.  Nobody wants her.  Even the man she married.

Earthshot 2024 Update

Earthshot made an announcement two days ago that was promptly buried by Sussex PR.

In case anyone else missed it (I definitely did!): Earthshot will be announcing the 2024 finalists on September 24, 2024.

The announcement will be made as part of the Earthshot Innovation Summit, hosted by Earthshot and Bloomberg Philanthropies. The Summit will take place in New York City during Climate Week and the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly.

Here’s the link to read more.

Details about the 2023 summit are here, so you can see get an idea of what to expect for the 2024 summit. Look at all the star power that turned out!

Let's see...

Nine and a half months ago, Will and Kate attended the Earthshot Prize awards in Boston together, along with a few other engagements. Boston is six to eight hours of flight time away from London.

They were in Boston for more than 48 hours. They arrived on 30 November, completed engagements on 01 December and 02 December, and then left on 02 December.

All while their three children stayed at home back at Windsor.

This upcoming weekend, neither Will nor Kate will spend 24 hours in France during the Rugby World Cup. Both Marseille and Bordeaux are less than two hours of flight time from London.

Kate's parents are recently retired, which means, theoretically, they are available for babysitting. Will & Kate also have a full-time nanny, Maria, who should also be available to watch the kids for a weekend.

Yet, for some reason, Will and Kate are attending rugby games separately. Bordeaux and Marseilles are not that far away from each other. The games are happening on different days. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Will and Kate could spend less than 48 hours in France together. You know, at the same time.

Instead, it seems that one parent will stay home for one game while the other one travels and vice versa.

What has possibly changed in the last nine and a half months where one parent needs to stay at home with the kids?

I love the Jenny Peckham gowns anon(?) shared. I saw some Erdem stuff too. And while I would live to see Catherine in any of those gowns I think the whole COVID and austerity optics could mean she will wear a repeat. We will be robbed of a new gown 😭 The white cape style JP gown with sequins is divine. Thanks for nothing commies. She could debut new royal jewels. No Tiara of course but surely raiding the vault for some old ear rings and bracelets can't be too much to ask for. 1/2

2/2 Also since the dastardly duo has a weeks notice, wonder what shenanigans they will pull to upstage such a big event. Hoping the Disney rumour is not pics of a visit and happy family bs pics. Hoping Pinewood Studios uses its PR/ media muscles to prevent any attention being paid to the harkles for 24 hours. Pinewood will be spending millions on ads, surely every publication wants a piece of that pie. It will be more than what Sunshine sucks will pay them to entertain the next Harkle debacle.

====

Between the Bond premiere and the Earthshot Prize, I really hope there is a new gown at one.

the contrast is as great as can be in New York by u/ElectricalAd9212

the contrast is as great as can be in New York Just been watching Prince William in New York today.He visited an environmental project which helps to reintroduce oysters into the New York river where they will form a reef and filter the water. He helped local schoolchildren with the work.He gave a speech and did a presentation on the Earthshot Prize nominations.He was there with many prominent people in environmentalism, business and philanthropyHe mentioned that he had had a jog in Central Park in the morning.He met the head of the UN.He met with New York firefighters and paid tribute to their work, and emphasised the importance of mental health for these heros of New York.Then he did a short walk and met some New Yorkers, shaking hands, chatting, laughing and being charming.The comparison with the ugly pair of toad-eaters and narcissistic drug addict ghouls couldn't be greater. Last time they were in New York they walked into a bought awards ceremony via the Hertz rental car sign, as she wore a tacky gold dress the same colour as the sign, made a disastrous speech so disastrous they concocted a fake car chase hoax that lasted less than 24 hours to get attention and made them even more of a global laughing stock and reviled by New Yorkers, were scoffed at by the Mayor, and summed up everything about how deranged and awful they are.Just by being themselves, Royalty has shone brightly, and contrasts with the lowest of values of Markle and Harry, who thought they were above everyone and to be worshipped by everyone.William is the embodiment of the best attributes of his father and mother, and the spirit of his Grandmother.God save our future King.​​ post link: https://ift.tt/Hgm578E author: ElectricalAd9212 submitted: September 19, 2023 at 11:11PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit
