According to a release, the series “showcases the five Earthshot challenges facing the planet as well as highlighting the work of the remarkable 15 Prize Finalists and their groundbreaking solutions to our greatest environmental challenges. It looks past the problems we face and onto the solutions spotlighting what we have to do to save our planet.”
And one sentiment from the trailer is especially close to William’s heart when it comes to his ambitious initiative: “I want to be able to look back and say humanity woke up. We have this incredible opportunity,” says one voice.

When William announced the forthcoming companion bookEarthshot: How to Save Our Planet, Royal Foundation chief executive Jason Knauf revealed, “The challenge the Duke set himself was, ‘What is the maximum positive personal contribution I can make in the next 10 years in the fight against climate change? What am I going to do in the next decade that means I can look my children in the eye and say that I did my bit? Every aspect of the Prize bears the stamp of his contribution.”
