Prince William's Earthshot Prize roadshow arrives in South Africa next week
Prince William's environmental roadshow will arrive in South Africa next week to announce the winners of the Earthshot Prize. This marks the first time the awards will be presented in Africa, following previous ceremonies in Britain, the U.S., and Singapore.
The Earthshot Prize, created in 2020, aims to encourage innovative solutions to climate change. This year's finalists include projects from Kenya and Ghana focused on solar energy and waste recycling. William will also meet local groups working on environmental protection.
During his visit, William will attend a summit on combating illegal wildlife trade. This trip is his first to South Africa since 2010 and his first visit to Africa since 2018.
