News Notes
Mumbai will serve as the host city for The Earthshot Prize 2026, the world’s most prestigious and impactful environmental award.
The multi-day celebration of environmental leaders who are delivering bold solutions to repair the planet will come to India for the first time in November.
The celebration in Mumbai will bring together environmental and business leaders, investors and philanthropists who are spearheading change. The Awards Night will culminate with five Earthshot leaders, each winning £1 million to accelerate the impact of their innovative solutions.
As a global megacity, Mumbai represents the environmental opportunities facing the world today. India is home to more Earthshot Prize Winners and Finalists than any other country. With the largest population of young people in the world, there is a real sense of momentum – to not only imagine a better future, but to inspire change and make it a reality. The Earthshot Prize helps create global attention for leadership and commitment to turning the goals into meaningful action on the ground.
Inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 ‘Moonshot’ to land a man on the moon within a decade, The Earthshot Prize was founded by HRH Prince William in 2020 to spark the same spirit of collective ambition and environmental action for the planet.
This year’s Prize will shine a global spotlight on 15 groundbreaking environmental solutions, under five categories developed in collaboration with leading environmental experts: Protect and Restore Nature; Clean our Air; Revive our Oceans; Build a Waste-Free World; and Fix our Climate.
