Aims Of The Earthshot Prize

Inspired by President John F. Kennedy's famed 10-year goal of landing on the moon, Moonshot, the Earthshot Prize aims to advertise impactful approaches to the world's pressing environmental challenges. Fittingly, the confirmation that the second awards ceremony will be held in Massachusetts came on the anniversary of the moon landing.

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation will serve as a host partner alongside Mayor Michelle Wu and the City of Boston.

During their visit to Boston, the couple will also spotlight and celebrate the ‘inspiring’ city for their work on addressing the impacts of climate change and building a resilient future, they said in a statement.

Kate And Prince William's US First Visit

Kate and Prince William, both 40, were last in the U.S. in 2014 during their visit to New York. Their first visit to the U.S. was shortly after their royal wedding in 2011, when they headed to Los Angeles.

The Earthshot Prize recently became an independent charity apart from the couple's Royal Foundation, with Prince William taking on the president's duty.

The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated, William told exclusively following the inaugural Earthshot Prize ceremony in October. However, through the Earthshot Prize, I want to show people why there is reason to be hopeful worldwide.

Seeing the excellent solutions developed by the first winners of the Prize and all of our finalists shows us that the answers are out there, said the Duke of Cambridge. By the consideration these efforts and supporting and scaling them to be good as they can be, we can inspire the confidence that a healthier, more sustainable future is within our grasp.
