Prince William has announced the first 15 finalists of his £50million Earthshot Prize, which aims to encourage the world's greatest problem-solvers to find answers to the planet's biggest environment problems. Five winners will be chosen next month from the 15 finalists, and each will receive a grant worth £1million pounds. Finalists for Build a waste free world were the city of Milan food waste hubs, Sanergy, from Kenya, and Japan’s Wota Box. Finally, Fix our climate finalists included AEM Electrolyser, based in Thailand, Germany and Italy, Reeddi capsules, from Nigeria, and Bangladesh’s Solbazaar. We have cleared too many trees, burnt too much fossil fuel, and produced too much waste,' William wrote.
