The Earthshot Prize, which was announced in a new film narrated by Sir David Attenborough, will encourage people and organizations to create new and innovative solutions to environmental problems. A statement from Kensington Palace referenced some of the crucial issues as being related to "climate and energy, nature and biodiversity, oceans, air pollution, and fresh water."
In a statement announcing the prize, William said, "The earth 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...
Hillary Clinton has pledged her support for the initiative and tweeted, "With Australia on fire and the Arctic in meltdown, it's clear we're in a climate emergency. I'm proud to support @EarthshotPrize from @KensingtonRoyal, a new effort to inspire Earth's greatest problem solvers to repair the natural world."

Hey, Wills! What's the Royals' carbon footprint as you travel around the world? Here's another award winning idea - move into a regular sized house and drastically cut the utility bill of those drafty old castles.
Poor Hellary trying so hard to be relevant.
Now, now... Thwy should receive a waiver from their pollution becase they care so much!
ISGAS.
I Scarcely Give A .....
The Royals are trying to foist guilt upon the serfs, while their own lifestyle betrays their hypocrisy.
No thanks.
Me thinks 2020 could be the year of the Hypocrits super exposure.
When does The Climate Change Peace Quilt construction begin? And the Hands Across the Planet? And the Light a White Candle and Envision Whirled Peas love-in? And what color RIBBON is being worn for the solidarity soirees?
God help us
Should’ve used a polarizer filter.
Hypocrites. Maybe we should forcibly remove them from their energy-inefficient homes and put them all in some yert in Mongolia.
Coinkydink...?
In any case, if we accept the above handy definition for the phrase, my question for Willie is this: Why bother?
It seems the earth has been at a tipping point for 30 years - and is still upright (so to speak).
In the age of free flow of information to all persons, Royal Family pronouncements become worthless.

Free market capitalism is the solution.
What do I win?
His brother and Meghan flew on private jets 4 times in 11 days recently then came back and lectured us little people to "Do our own bit of good" for the environment.
One other question for Willie: Why the refusal to detail where the funding for this is coming from, hmmmm?
That’s a B-47 using JATO bottles and water injection on all six engines, hence the smoky exhaust from the jets.
That poor kid.
Her parents really screwed up her head.
Lemmings 2020.
Revival of the festival where a half a million people gathered to off themselves.
The Bullshot Prize
Whoever builds the tallest pile of bullshot wins
You’d be ANGRY too if you saw that face in the mirror every day.
