The Earthshot Prize, launched in 2019 by William, the Prince of Wales aims to catalyse solutions that can repair the planet and avert environmental disaster by awarding 50 million pounds to 50 solutions over the course of 10 years. Is this prize money a mere drop in the ocean - or can these ripples create a revolution in sustainability innovation? Hannah Jones, the CEO of the Earthshot Prize and former Chief Sustainability Officer of Nike discuss the evolving landscape of ESG and sustainability, as well as how much of an impact the Earthshot Prize can feasibly make.
