Earthshot Prize: William and Kate launch prize to 'repair the Earth’

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced a global prize to tackle climate issues, pledging "a decade of action to repair the Earth".

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited a
 melting glacier in Pakistan in October.

Five winners will receive the Earthshot Prize every year between 2021 and 2030.

The cash prize will be for individuals or organisations who come up with solutions to environmental problems.

Prince William said the world faces a "stark choice" to continue "irreparably" damaging the planet or "lead, innovate and problem-solve".

The announcement was made in a video narrated by Sir David Attenborough posted on social media.
