Description :

Our planet is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet, or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate and problem-solve.

In 2023, we find ourselves in a world going through seismic change. Macro trends feel often overwhelming, exacerbated through failing global processes; increasingly severe climate disruptions, widening social and economic inequity; and sharp division between demographics about the very reality of our shifting circumstances.

By the end of this decade we must reduce emissions by over 40% and protect 30% of our nature and oceans. To protect and restore our planet, we must ensure that climate denialism doesn’t slip into climate defeatism and we must spotlight and scale innovative solutions.

This November, The Earthshot Prize - founded in 2020 by HRH Prince William - will be held in Singapore, and in this closing plenary, Earthshot Prize CEO Hannah Jones makes the case for optimism over defeatism with an urgent call to speed proven environmental solutions to scale.
