The Earthshot Prize

Climate creativity is about acting on an idea that reimagines our world for the better – and The Earthshot Prize exists to discover, support and celebrate those who are turning bold ideas into real solutions to repair our planet. We must speed these solutions to scale. Around the world, in every sector, great ideas and determined teams are delivering results: for businesses, for communities, and for the planet. Join us and discover the power of climate creativity.

Last night we were excited to see climate creativity in action at the Art for your Oceans exhibition in London! A collaboration between Earthshot Global Alliance member WWF, Sotheby's and ARTWISE CURATORS LIMITED. All of the pieces shown use OCEAN INK®, the world's first ink produced from sustainably farmed seaweed, produced by OCEANIUM. Oceanium are scaling at pace, with their latest funding round now open. The exhibition also includes work from Earthshot Prize supporter Stella McCartney, an outfit made from Kelsun™️, a seaweed-based yarn created from renewable kelp.

Today, we celebrate the 99th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. A true icon, storyteller, and lifelong advocate for the natural world who has inspired and brought the wonders of Earth into our homes. For over seven decades, his voice has been crucial in awakening the urgency of conservation, showing us the beauty but also fragility of our world and the urgent need to protect it. As a Founding Member of The Earthshot Prize Council, Sir David has inspired global action through wisdom, storytelling, and hope. We are deeply proud of his leadership and vision. In the words of our Founder and President Prince William: ''He has inspired my children and me in so many ways - not least as a key catalyst in the founding of The Earthshot Prize. May we all raise a glass to a true giant - and continue the mission he has led with such grace and urgency'' Happy Birthday, Sir David.
